Has anyone actually gotten this to work? I know that I've tried many,
many times over the last year or so and every time I get an error when
I try to use the MacScript command, whether with script statements or
trying to call an applet. I even asked on this very list if anyone had
gotten it to work and received one negative reply (and no positive
ones).
I'd really like to know how to make this work. Any help?
Thanks,
