Actually, Applescript is mentioned far more than X-=Settings...the Scripts
menu gets a very nice reference, from page 239 to 240, as does UUCP,
starting on Page 327. You should try reading the docs sometime, they need a
lot of work.
Although someone may wish to point out that Cal Simone's company is *Main
Event*, not *Mainstay*...always the little details that make you look silly.
John, you can argue your point here in english, american, canadian, mexican,
hottentot, and North Pole Elf...the x-settings are *not* clearly enumerated
in the UI, and they are barely mentioned in the Manual. The X-settings are
bad UI, have always been bad UI, and are the #2 reason why I won't recommend
Eudora as an email app. It's a game, called, "Hah! I have the secret
knowledge", and is simply pandering to egotistical geeks who cannot handle a
'normal' being able to get full usage out of the program without beging for
help. It's not a good way to make a Mac program.

Hardly, but you believe what you like.
