I am attaching my ENTIRE sig line to this copy for a reason.

IF anyone forwards, reprints, or cites this command line technique for 
starting PhotoShop at a particular priority, I would simply ask that I 
also be cited as the ORIGINAL source for said information.

This particular tip IS NOT one I have seen on any Photoshop website or 
in any PhotoShop book as of yet abd therefore would sincerely request 
that if the technique is referred to, described, or referenced, I be 
given the simple common courtesy of credit for suggesting the technique 
be used  for running PhotoShop under Windows, and for explaining how to 
do so. (if possible, I would ask that I please be cited by name with a 
link and reference to the 2000+ member EPSON printer group I founded, 
at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EPSONx7x_Printers)

My publishing the particulars of this idea on this forum in no way 
indicates that I have relinquished any copyright inherent in said content.

I have no objection to the idea being added to a compendium of 
 PhotoShop tips online, or in book form, etc. I simply ask that I be 
appropriately credited.

Thanks.
Keith
