How come when I fire up Dromed, I have to manually load the mission? After installing a mission via FMSel, I can hit "Play FM," and off I go. Seems it should do the same in Dromed, but all I get is the blank editing screen.
I'm sure there's a tweak I haven't done, but I've read the documentation and found zilch.

The program (Thief or Dromed) starts, calls the .dll (FMSel or NewDarkLoader) which handles the installation of the FM and setting the working directory, and when the loader closes the program carries on. Dromed has no way of knowing whether you want to load a mission or start a new one. And in Thief you also have to manually load the first (or only) mission by going to New Game...
Darkloader edited/creates a cmd file containing the exact command to load a mission, but for a multi-mission series it wouldn't necessarily be the mission you wanted.
