Doh!
Yep, brain fart -- one of the problems with opening the dictionary and just
doing a "find." After a scroll up, it told me it was the ScriptmasterXT
suite.

I wish I had that problem. Unfortunately, I'm the only one here using
AppleScript, *lonely* but that has had the side benefit of giving me plenty
of ammo for the suits that makes raises VERY easy to come by. A personal ROI
of over 6.5 is a good thing, I found out. (Thanks AppleScript
developers!!!)
It also makes it very easy to have complete control over the workflow and
environment, so I don't have to worry too much about error checking and
such, but I do have user interface issues that I'm learning how to address.
(Dialog Director and Dialog Studio Pro are godsends! FaceSpan was extreme
overkill for me.)

Cool idea to check out!
