Greetings Stein,

Thanks.  I didn't realize that the -p option will open a new imagej panel
and assign it the specified port number; obvious now.

As I am able to run the "Compile and Run..." menu item directly from the
command line, I am curious as to why you use a middle man approach?
The GVim.rc setting(imagej commandline) I use is:
map <silent> <F9> :silent w<bar>!imagej -o -e 'run("Compile and
Run...","compile=%:p");'<CR>
which does the equivalent of Ctrl-R inside imagej, albeit using F9 instead.

You can get a handle to the Log window using
WindowManager.getAllNonImageWindows(); and change its title.

Thanks,

Fred
