Beware of a terminology conflict with Akua Sweets.

There's also a problem with Script Debugger that Mark's working to isolate.

The script above compiles for me in the Script Editor, but it doesn't work. I have to use the form:

set Disk Volume alias to alias "Mac HD:"

Furthermore the Startup Disk CP doesn't visually update itself until it is quit and restarted. (OMM)

You have Akua loaded?

No, I am strictly vanilla ( well, not really , 2 satimage osaxen. Do they count?).
Actually your suggestion does NOT work either!
It opens SD but it does not compile pointing to the same error as before. Nothing changed.
So you all do compile this script?
That is interesting!

Thanks Paul, I've use the software update and it did not return anything other than IE 5.0.2 or 5.2.
