Classic/AS

OS 10.1, 9.2.1, single partition- in 3 different G4s, Script Editor 1.6 (Classic) will not compile a-
---tell app "Finder"
block. Error message is "Can't get the applications's event dictionary". Is there documentation or scripter info about Finder scripting in OS 10.1/9.2.1? Earlier I sent a message to the list asking about Finder scripting over a network in a mixed System 10 an d9 environment. Having had no input, I tried to use the Classic environment, but this error was produced. Is the OS 9 environment TCP/IP environment not providing adequate permission parameters?

As the Finder becomes more.. ancient, should I look at using Applescript to call shell scripts in the Terminal? My sense of stuff is with the inclusion of XML and Soap inbedded in10.1 that data transfer rather than file transfer is where we are headed. If so, please give a heads up so this old brain can begin to look for the Swiss-army chainsaw.

Tried it on 3 different machines in case I screwed up something (good at that)- but the results are the same.

Help

Craig
