Is there a better way to get the applet to reliably quit after execution?
I've thrown away all of my Quark 3.31 scripts, but I could've sworn that they
printed color seps by saying something like:
print page 1 of document with plates {"Cyan","Magenta","Yellow"}
But maybe you can't predict the names of the plates....
As far as QuickKeys goes, I don't have that around either. But I seem to
recall that there was a gadget called ProcessSwitch or ProcessSwap that you
had to insert in your QK sequence to bring your appescript to the front so
that it could quit. That's assuming that your applescript is an applet, of
course. It also meant that your QK sequence has to be in a Universal keyset
so that it's available to both Quark and the applet.
These ideas are very dim memories and I hope that they are more help than
hindrance...
