When I check the syntax, the string "of machine "Coruscan"" disapear?

As Steve Zellers pointed out, Mac OS X only supports program linking via IP, not AppleTalk, so you have to give an eppc URL as the machine name. (E.g., "eppc://hostname".)

There's a known bug that if the machine name isn't a valid eppc or http URL, it will disappear when you check syntax, though of course it wouldn't have worked anyway. Sorry about that.
