Thanks for the explanation of the cursor.

In my use case, I am wanting to start rebuilding at a specific step which already has a status of "Built". Since it already has the status of "Built", the "Build from Cursor" immediately skips over that step.

So what I really want is a Rebuild from Cursor command, that would I guess clear out the statuses for all following steps.

This isn't a feature request, I'm just saying it's what I expected to be able to do, because my mental model of the tool was that it's a GUI front-end to a script, so I thought I should be able to start running the script at any step with a single click. I see now that it's actually more of the makefile/nant paradigm, where each step is a task/target with a status. (Well it's kind of a mix, because each step has a status, but the steps *also* have an explicit rather than dependency-driven order.)

FWIW.
