Though Network Scripting lives with Scripting Additions it's a faceless
background app (FBA) and needs to be 'told' like ordinary applications. I
found it very convoluted and don't care to use it, what do you want to do
with it?

No you shouldn't, you can even avoid the restart by sending the ascrgdut raw
event to load installed OSAX...
-------------
try
<<event ascrgdut>>--does the job and generates error...
on error
say "[[rate +200]]ascr[[rate -100]]gdut" using "Bubbles"
end try
-------------
'<<' and '>>' represent the left and right chevron characters generated by
'option \' and 'option shift \' on most keyboards (these charaters get
mangled by the list server).
Perhaps an example of some code which doesn't work for you would help.
