Those with trouble with automation and this Applescript which Ive never used, have you tried QuicKeys? Its at CE Software, for all automation, stop there. Ask then if you need MK scripts. To timoteo, so it seems you now have a new convenience feature which makes life a bit easier and theres less fing around. Well... Good. Because dont feel sorry for Mac users, with this new trick you now know what its like to BE one, if only for five minutes. Multiply your output, fly round the desktop and through the system, worry more about what you DO with the computer than have it be and end in itself, all this with a portion of the available software since (as it turns out) you wouldnt need any of that other junk anyway. Well done, enjoy your new toy and welcome to the 21st century, where Apple is probably the only commercially solvent computer company. The happiest people I know are former ultra-conservative IBM Wintin-heads whove just converted to the Mac. (Actually it looked like Wintel were about to go under a few years ago. I follow these things, I know the signs) Naa... To hell with all this... IBM IS STUPID AN MACINTOSH ISNT.
