[CONNECT] Printing Key-ins Not Working in Custom Toolbar

Question

I have some custom tools that I've set up to call different print definition files (.pset). These worked great in V8i and I have converted them over to CONNECT by re-creating the tools and using the key-ins that were mentioned in the Help documentation. If I key-in each command via the key-in window, it works as intended. But when I execute the tool button, I get an error saying "Unknown key-in or command". Any idea what causes this? Here's what I'm trying to pass via the tool: 
 dialog plot; print openprintsetup PDFColorSmall.pset

Through additional testing, I've noticed that this only occurs with the tools on the Ribbon, not when the toolbar is opened separately. 
 My tool names had a semicolon (;) in the description of the tool and this was causing issues for the DMSG ACTIVATETOOLBYPATH key-in when passed through the ribbon. I removed the semicolon and the tools worked as expected in the RIbbon.
