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?
Do you have program linking on in OSX? This would be set in the
"Sharing" preferences in the "Application" tab, "Allow Remote Apple
events" check box. If so turn it off and try your script again after
"AEServer" is no longer running. If you don' want to wait for
"AEServer" to quit on it's own you can kill it in the Terminal using
sudo kill "the PID number".
This is a known bug that has been fixed in the soon to be released 1.7
Classic Script Editor.

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
