no, i've been copying it into another scrript, and the identifier error
comes on 'IncrementFilename' after 'on' - i'm trying to change the variable
names to match up with the rest of my script, and get a range of no.s from a
user edit field between 1 & 99 for the total no. of files to process, here:

<script>

if text returned of (display dialog ,
"enter amount of files to generate from source (1-99)?" default
answer "" giving up after 12) is "1-99" then
set _juxtatext to open for access file (((path to desktop) as
string) & "juxtatext(s):juxtatext 01") with write permission
else
(display dialog "enter numerically the amount of files to generate
(1-99)" default answer "" giving up after 12)
set _juxtatext to open for access file (((path to desktop) as
string) & "juxtatext(s):juxtatext 01") with write permission
end if

<script>

i can e-mail you the whole shebang off list if you want to see it

thanks again
