I agree they did a lot of work, and it paid off. I have been successfully
scripting Illustrator 9 for almost two months. I have a few gripes about it,
but the work arounds aren't a big deal.
Thanks to Adobe for adding scripting support to Illustrator 9.
I can't wait to start scripting InDesign.
Thanks,
