Hi there thanks for the reply!
Well its not a standalone but i just discovered something neat:
If you launch PT 9 with the ER on and plugged in, then when the
little 'create / open a session' opens, select Cancel as i just did.

Lo and behold only the Eleven Edit window loaded !!
- it was fully functional and the closest thing to a standalone app!

Pro Toolz was still 'on' but the only window visible is the ER window

cheers

and yes it looks like it should be a doddle for someone to come up with
a real separate ER App - come on hackers!!
