You can use that old format, or the new format like I suggested.
At least if you are using a recent pcb version.  What version are
you using?  You can do:
   ChangeDrillSize(SelectedPins, 1.1mm)
   ChangeDrillSize(SelectedPins, 32mil)
etc., which I find cleaner and less typing than supplying the units
as a separate argument.

That's odd.  First, I don't get a dialog when I press ':', but just
a combo box “Enter command: [      ]” which replaces the pcb status
bar.  Second, I have never had pcb crash on pressing ':'.  What
version are you using?  Is it the GTK HID?

Colin
