Thanks. But I'm trying to find out about application responses. Beeps don't
work when I'm in bed and the script is running.
It's an existential question. If a script beeps and nobody heard it did it
really beep?
I want to query an application to see if it's done doing something. I want
to return a boolean value hopefully, and then continue on with my script.
In Filemaker Proif you trigger a FMP script with an applescript the FMP
script goes off while applescript continues to run. I need it to wait for
filemaker to finish and then continue. If my other stuff goes off before
the import (80,000 memory chip prices) it does no good.
Is this performed with an idle handler or waiting for the application to
return some kind of status?
