Thanks for the response.
Before I was attempting to automatically merge scripts with default, I
placed my own WindowActivatedEvent function in my file and place the Use
statement after all the other Use statements and before the function
declarations. This seemed to work. But from a logical standpoint, I am not
sure why? Am I overwriting the function located in default? Or will both
functions be in the chain?
If I use the standard merge, will both versions of the function be in the
chain, or will I need to do something extra?
