Any suggestions?
If you're in OS 9, you need any of Prefab Player, OneClick, KeyQuencer
or Quickeys which can respond to the dialog box with user-level events.
Unfortunately, OC and KQ have been announced as dead for X, and Prefab
Player might be as well (there's been no announcement that I'm aware
of). Quickeys is available on X (as is a new free utility called Youpi
Key), but if you need to anything more complicated in that dialog than
click "OK" every time, these will probably not work.
BTW, when you say you have a script, are you using Photoscripter or the
Actions palette?
