True, I guess there are more scripters using OS 9 currently. Especially
since it has more functionality and is tried and true in 9.

This is a good point.. A lot of the things I can't use are due to the fact
that applescript is incomplete in OS X.

Will do.. I am very pleased Mac OS X, but there are some things that really
need to be addressed as soon as possible- I think completing applescript
support is one of those things.
