I was trying this and I found out that I don't need Prefab Player to "type (ASCII
character 3)"

with following command:
tell document 1 of application "QuarkXPress Passportt 4.11"
TypeText "p" with Command
tell application "Finder"
TypeText (ASCII character 3)
end tell
I will be able to print whatever the default print settings are, also a
postscript file

If I use "QuarkXPresst 3.32r5" doesn't work with "print postscript file" becouse
the second dialog after typing the button "Save" it looks like a subdialog.
Prefab Player does not recognize the button,
Okey Dokey does not recognize the button
"TypeText "p" with Command" does not recognize the button

Reporting other curios things:

* My script sometimes wrote files on different volumes even if I wrote a path
to the startup disk
* the print-command ignores every path I write in the script, now it always
writes the ps-file on the desktop

with the some print setup if I write a ps-file:

* manual (without script): I can see how the computer writes the file
* with script: it prints like with background printing: the script is over and
the ps-file is still not ready !
and in this case I get problems if I want to move a big file to another
place becouse
the script is too quick compared to the writing of the file (ok I could
rate a delay but I not always know how big a ps-file will be)

WHY????? grrrrr (I love my mac...)

some other ideas?

Alberto
