so this pre-defines where various apps will start ?

In the right direction.

So if I may re-iterate,
pre-define where apps will open, using the tagging scripts,
and then open each one from another script, and voila ?
I /will/ need to lern more about dem tags.

here's a riddle or two;
How do I include the column, and the order within the column, of each item ?
Is there any way to also direct the window-mode (stack, default,
maximum) for each column ?

I know this is asking a lot, but this functionality is make-or-break for me,
and I'll bet important for may other potential-users who sometimes
turn their computers off.

thanks again,
