Droplet stays open after Quickey in Quark


  • Subject: Droplet stays open after Quickey in Quark

I have a script that uses a Quickey to print a document. It is necessary to
use the Quickey because Quark 3.31 (which I must use in this case) cannot
print color seps by using the simple "Print" command.
I have the script saved as a classic applet with "Stay Open" un-checked. The
problem I have is that the applet stays open (running). Then when the user
attempts to drop their next document on it, it usually will not run.

Is there a better way to get the applet to reliably quit after execution?
Here is a scaled down version of the script, but this will consistently stay
open.

on open thePicture

tell application "QuarkXPress"
activate
open file thePicture
tell document 1
tell print setup
set separation to true
set registration marks to center
set halftone screen to 105
end tell
tell application "QuicKeys Backgrounder"
DoMenuChoice MenuTitle "File" MenuItem "Print
"
PlayByName "PrintOK"
end tell
end tell
end tell

end open

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Dan
