<br>
Thank you very much! Actually, I returned to Texworks 0.4, since it<br>
works, and newest 0.7 don't work with my mikTeX (???). But your<br>
script works excellent in my current version too! I has one more question:<br>
why it worked namely for Alt-D? The script seems to have no settings<br>
for this, isn't it?<br>
