I had to move it to a menu item since we have reached the limit on the number of controls VB allows on a single form with the options dialog. As new features are added which really have to be on the options dialog because they are per-species or whatever, others that can and perhaps should be get moved elsewhere get moved. I view the Shots... menu as the place to hang future shot features: if we want a toggle for making shots visible, for having some shots last longer than others, for viewing shot properties, etc.
Will address the initialization issue next drop.
