Subject: Dump-force command for Shredder4?

Author: Bruce Ramsey

Hi - Shredder4 supports the Shredder3 "dump" command, and also has menu item
Settings\Dump File\Use.  Those toggle dumping.  That is, if it's off, then the
command turns it on, and if it's off, then the command turns it on.

Is there a command or menu item in Shredder4 that forces dumping on?  Or that
forces dumping off?

I tried "dump+" and "dump-" which were rejected, and "dump on" and "dump off"
which were accepted, but were clearly ignoring the on/off argument and simply
toggling as with "dump"

.ini file entries, any sort of thing would be fine.

And, this isn't an earth-shattering sort of thing, just sort of a would-be-nice
thing.  I use a lot of little applets that I write in VB6 to drive apps like
Shredder, BookUp, BlitzIn, etc.  When my VB6 applet needs to track something
like whether or not Shredder currently has dumping turned on, well without a way
to force the state (rather than toggle it), I resort to manually verifying the
dump state in Shredder and then manually telling my VB6 applet the state at the
time Shredder and the VB6 applet have just started up.  Like I said, not a
super-important sort of thing, as I have the manual work-around.

thanks, Bruce
