General description from: <http://www.bayden.com/SlickRun/>
<copy>
SlickRun is a floating command line utility for Windows. SlickRun
gives you almost instant access to any program or website.
SlickRun allows you to create command aliases (known as
MagicWords), so C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe
becomes MAIL.

Enter a web URL into SlickRun and it will launch your browser and
navigate to the specified address. Run multiple programs in a few
keystrokes, jot a note, look up a definition... SlickRun is the
most natural way to interact with your computer.

Please note, SlickRun is not a "hotkey" program. If you want a
program that lets you press some wacky keyboard shortcut (say,
Shift + Win + 1) to run to something, you'll want to find a
different utility. SlickRun is designed to be far more intuitive
than "hotkey" programs-- You shouldn't have to keep an awkward
mental list of hotkeys for launching your favorite programs.
Instead, just type whatever's most natural for you to remember;
with auto-completion, you'll rarely type more than 2 or 3
characters anyway. Studies have shown that user-defined
imperative words are much easier to recall than arbitrary
characters like keystrokes.

All the best,

Thanks for the heads up. Interesting, went from from 3.3.1. to 3.4.2.2 in
one jump.

One of MY "essential" apps.

I tried nominating it for Pricelessware last year, but couldn't get someone
to second it. Perhaps this year will be different.
 
Mr BigBucks, you nominate and I will second this year. I use it all the time.

I will look at Runfast just to see what it's like.
