I've had the scripts that MultiMail Pro 3.1 (a Palm Pilot mail conduit) uses to
interface to Microsoft Entourage fail when I shifted to AS 1.7. These scripts
use commands like,
open for access file "MMCache" with write permission
The reference 'file "MMCache"' no longer works. Apparently, something has
changed regarding the "current directory"
