Thanks, Chris. I found I could use them in AS 1.6 downloaded today, but they
don't appear in Smile's Dictionary display either.

Ooh, that sounds good. I hope to have OS X by this weekend. (I've had to
order a new hard drive so I can partition it, etc.) I guess we can't add our
own FindFolder selector somehow? Not that it would have much use when
distributing scripts, of course, but I'm just too tempted to add an
'unspeakable items' folder if only I could. I can think of a few things I'd
put there. ;-)
