I had one more thought...

Active-Group does work for this.  What error were you getting when you tried
to use it to call up your selected group?  If the group screen is in monitor
mode, and not unsaved (after recent changes) it should work fine.

You probably have a startup timer, which is started in your
starting/stopping group (or what ever you call it).  You might try something
like this:

If startup timer is now 0
Then active-group set paul's house

If your startup event is like mine, which only runs once at startup, you'll
want to make sure that these event lines are before this statement (or in
some other event):

If ECS is starting
Else event-exit set true

Cheers!

As near as I can tell, theres no way to put my group before A, since the
list is
alphabetical<g>.  I've tried to delete the 'A' group but ECS gives me an
error.
The group appears to have been deleted, but the next time I start ECS it's
back...
