Devon, Thanks for reporting this. Sorry for the delayed response--I was spending time working on fixing a .dll problem with PEBL 2.0 over the last week.
1. The wft file doesn't have settable parameters. The error you are reporting is what you get when you hit the 'edit' button, which is a bit confusing because that is to edit parameters of the script, not to actually run it. If you select the file and click 'Run selected test' at the top, I believe it should work fine. 2. The .bat file is almost right, but there are a couple problems here. First, you are using a .bat file to launch a shortcut, and I don't think that will work; second, you need to be sure where you are starting the script; it will not know where to find nback.pbl. I think the best way to do this is something like the start /B command. If you download the standalone package (either for PEBl 0.14 or 2.0) it has a batch file that launches the launcher that you may be able to modify to work. In that file, it first identifies the run-from location, then moves to that location and runs the script. Actually, in the standalone, it has to create .bat files in order to launch--it will be a file called tmp.bat probably in the main standalone folder or maybe inside PEBL. If you run a script from the standalone and then copy that file, it should be almost exactly what you want. 3. The alternative is to use the new custom launcher in PEBL 2.0. This will create a shortcut that launches a very simplified launcher that will make things simple. I make this available to donors, which will cost you no more than $1.
