Portable apps menu

Hi everybody, I just created a program using borland delphi that when opened it starts both thunderbird portable and FreePOPs, if I run it with double-click it works fine but if I start it from the p.a. menu then it doesn't work, I mean it opens the program but it wont open thunderbird nor freepops. can somebody explain me why? thanks

The current directory is not

The current directory is not the same as the application directory you have to do somthing like Application.Directory + "/theFileIWant.txt" (I don't know delphi, that's a general example).

Beta

Grab the beta of the platform. It fixes the working directory bug:

Your signature below, those tags aren't gonna work. And I don't think any size or colour changing code will work in this forum.
