Yeah, well, I didn't exactly forget it. Using run script as a form of
second-level evaluation is in the book, all right, but I also point out that
it's really a pretty crappy thing to do, so I advise against it. There are
times when one just *has* to use it, of course. But in this case the
record-and-osax solution is way cleaner (esp now that we have portable osax
distribution). m.
