question
just when i open a new scene and i want to execute a mel script, there appear an announcement that the script can not be found. so i open the script editor and use script source by selecting the directory where the is located and afterwards the mel can be found.
is this right that i have always to locate the script or is there a possibiliy that all imported scripts run by starting maya? what can i do?

question
as long as no object is selected in the outliner the dialog closes by releasing the hotkey buttons crtl+o. i don´t like this setting. the dialog should stay open by pressing crtl+o once.

question
how to leave a working operation?
i have read that with the button ~, you can stopp and leave a process.
it doesn´t works at my computer. perhaps because of the german tastatur?
does someone know how i can fix this?
