Display dialog + compiled scripts

Nick,

Try this:

tell frontmost application
display dialog "whatever"
end tell

That way it should always end up at the front of whatever you're working in...

Best Wishes

PS - 2 questions:
1. Why can't I find a good rose-hip tea here?
2. Why do they use hybiscus in tea, when hybiscus is poisonous to eat, drink,
and inhale the fumes from when burned?
