Thanks Bryan, but I'm still in the dark, I'm afraid. What will happen
in my scenario, is that the script receives an Apple Event that will
look something like
'----':obj {form:name, want:type(file), seld:"Hard Disk:ScriptName",
from:'null'()}, plst:["", "", "", "", "", ""]
Where "plst" is parameter list that gets fed to the script in
question. My problem is, how do I get the script to pick up these
parameters - what should my script look like? Do I need to declare a
property at the top level of the script?
Thanks for any help...
Pier.
