Small collections of MacroScripts for 3ds max 6-8 - intended as keyboard shortcuts.

1.) Toggles - that will open a dialog upon keypress and also close it
2.) MouseOver viewport shortcuts - that work without explicit viewport activation

I'm quite used to the script

I'm quite used to the script but recently upgraded to 2011 and can't get them to work right anymore.
I always got an "mb_shortcuts_fn.ms not properly loaded!" error message though I copied that file into the startup script folder. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
