Loading frequently used dialog boxes using function keys in V8

Peter Bekkers of Adviesbureau G&B in Alphen, Netherlands, loves using function keys. Recently he wrote in with the following tip:

"The following key-in easily opens the Level Manager dialog box: mdl keyin lvlmangr levelmanager dialog open. Assign it to a function key and you can work faster."

Here are some other key-ins to load frequently used dialog boxes:
• Models dialog box: mdl keyin modelmanager model manager
• References dialog box: mdl keyin ref dialog reference
• Raster manager: raster dialog open raster_manager
• Export design file dialog box: dialog export

Peter says, "Let your left hand do something. Every mouse click is one to many!" We agree!
