Hi all,

I am wondering if there is a way to make an Applescript applet into a
background application - that is to say that once launched it would not
appear in the Application Menu, but would quietly carry on doing its thing
in the background. I suspect this is a job for ResEdit or a similar tool.

If such a change were made, what would be the implications to input and
output from this applet? The applet would have no screen output save error
dialogs, and the only user input needed would be to quit it if circumstances
warranted this. (It would read and write data from/to files.)

Thanks in advance for any advice or pointers to the appropriate
documentation.

Don
