Why is it gone off the main UI, there is plenty of room there?

No problem, ooops...
I got a few comments that things were "cluttered", and I think that "newbies" look at it for the first time and are overwhelmed.
Actually, I made a small attempt at cleaning up the interface and moving things into menus AND I was going to get rid of the "Preview" button too, and move it to a menu, but I forgot about it  ).
I will put it back if you want it back! Silly me... 
Regards,

Cool! I find it very handy right next the the queue.
Maybe a customizable button placement, (like autocad's toolbars), would leave some options open to the "newbies"...although maybe more options is "bad"! Keep it simple, or scare everyone away...right?
I do think anyone who uses the "filelists" would want it right next to the queue so you can jump in and out quickly. Maybe it is just me...I use the filelists like my "To Do" list. Sometimes I wish the filelists would know which script I want to load up too. 
After using Hurricane for a while, an extra 1" movement of the mouse and 1 extra click becomes...well...cumbersome.

Hey Steely,
I've reversed the visibility on that button...
I've also added a few other things ...
1) Your request for a RENAME feature in the file-lists box is there, along with...
2) a "VIEW" button, so that you can "preview" the file-list in notepad (or whatever your default text editor is) before importing it into your Queue.
You can find the hurricane608beta.zip file in the Archives section...
Go to http://www.74mph.com/ and click on the SUPPORT menu, then on the ARCHIVES sub-menu, then on PUBLIC.
You'll notice the filesize is rather small, that's cause all the built-in ocx's are missing, it should work on your system though (cause you have run the full Hurricane at least once...)...
BACKUP your old hurricane.exe (maybe rename it), then extract this on into your Hurricane directory. Let me know if everything works out... 
PS - I have implemented some other changes requested by another user (the r14 SAVEAS r12 function needed some refining), so hopefully none of the other features were effected by my edits (I have casually tested it) (but you never know!) If there are any problems, then you can always go back to your previous version! 
Hope you like it!

Thank You!
The "rename" and the "preview" options for FILELISTS will come in VERY handy. I very much appreciate the prompt update!
