Yes, thanks. ;)  I did this last month...

You can't add AutoDoubler to the list of 'apps' which GK allows,
because AD isn't an application.  It's an init, which (at least at
this time) means that it runs 'inside' the memory of another
application, which basically means that GK thinks the things AD does
are done by whatever application is in the foreground.

This conflict (which I believe is _not_ a 'major' big deal, & will at
worst cause 'temp files' to be left on your drive) will not arise with
GK Aid.
