That is good news. : )

You know, if we think about OS X and appleScript it's pretty easy to
imagine Osax developers like Jon Pugh and the Tanaka and the AKUA people
who came to AppleScript's rescue before we had a scriptable finder stepping
in once again to save the day with a collection of FBA's containing all the
commands we need until the Finder team and all the other Apple teams get on
board with AppleScript!

Cool! I'm downloading is as soon as I send this message. (What does it

Great, I'd be happy to beta test if needed!
