Hi there!

Just installed the new version of rush here, works fine. One question about the submitscripts and this new layout format:

is there any way to deactiviate some of the GUI elements which I don't need, without removing them completely from the script?

Would be nice to comment out things like the "image command" or "job start command" line.

I tried do it with the normal comment #. But that didn't work. I only got an error message while opening the script.

Any chance to do is or do I have to remove the whole functions from the script?

	Hmm, interesting question.

	Yes, it looks like you can't insert '#' into the GUI layout
	section of the perl script, ie:

---- snip
                Ram: ______________ ?
       Submit Hosts: __________________________________________________ ?


  Job Start Command: ___________________________________________ ? Browse
   Job Done Command: ___________________________________________ ? Browse
   Job Dump Command: ___________________________________________ ? Browse
---- snip

	That part of the script is not perl, but is text passed to the
	"CreateInputForm()" function defined in the .common.pl script,
	and that function currently does not honor '#'s in its input.

	So yes, you have to delete the lines to prevent it from showing up.

	However, you /could/ add this single line of code to the .common.pl
	script to make it honor '#' comments in the GUI section.

	Search for 'sub CreateInputForm' in the .common.pl, and then
	find the following section, and add the single line 'ADD THIS LINE'
	below:

---- snip
[..]
    # PARSE EACH LINE OF THE TEXT LAYOUT
    my $s;
    foreach $s ( split('\n', $form, -1 ) )
    {
	if ( $s =~ /^#/ ) { next; }		#### ADD THIS LINE ####

        # HANDLE RAW-INPUT MODE
        #    This allows caller to insert raw input(1) commands
        #    into the screen definition.
        #
[..]
---- snip

	I believe that's all that's needed to enable '#'s in the GUI section.
