I'm not having any success with this particular challenge;
I want to send a command from one machine (my 7500, system 8) to check my
email and open my morning news site on my G4 (system 9.4) that is connected
to the Xtension machine via ethernet.
My Applescript is as follows..I ran it on the on the G4 and it works great,
it just won't work from the 7500 targeting the G4:
tell application "Outlook Express"
send
connect to every POP account
end tell
If I add to the beginning:
tell application "Outlook Express" of machine "Espresso"
activate
end tell
Now if I try it on the 7500 with the G4 mounted on the desktop when I try to
compile the error tells me "Outlook Express isn't running or program linking
isn't enabled" That's wrong, both are running/enabled.
It would be great to get it to mount the volume as well but I haven't gone
there yet, wanting to get this to work first.
Thanks for any help.
