Great question and responses. I appreciate a real world, non computer
oriented, practical result from an AS. Helps my learning. But, I pasted
the following in my text editor, only to have the formula hang on a coma
(the one immediately following "Cancel", "OK"}") when it expected an end
of line. I tried moving several things around but without success. My
essentials are:
AppleScript 1.3.7
Apple system 8.6
Mac 7300 w XLR8 G3/400
Was the script intended to be ready to go? Or did I presume and miss
something I should have taken out?
Thanks
Dave Groover
