Well, found some excellent resources on how to create plastic, glass and burning type. But the thing with actions is, probably, that it is concentrated on activities within a document. I have seen actions that use an external, newly created, document, but those are most of the time simple sidesteps. Somewhere I encountered something about VB scripting that is more about doing thinks with different document. But the URL started with parners.apple.com so that will not prove to be very usefull for this. I am very interested in what RetroCity can come up with. I guess there is a very good chance the dragging and dropping will go on... The good part is, you can drink coffee while doing it...
