I'm not sure whether it would work under Pro, but there is a trick to
get around the problem for you. If you create a copy of launch in
your user.r script and use that, then it'll work. (Others can
explain the why;)
So, add a line something like this to your user.r ...
my-launch: :launch
and then change second.r to...
my-launch %first.r
and it should work. (Well, it does for me, anyway.)
Hope that helps...
