Hi John,
I have a question about the script snippet that you posted above. Why do you
prepend the empty string to the (path to scripts folder)? Does this force an
alias to become a string, or something like that? Is this more efficient
than saying (path to scripts folder) as string?
I'm a new scripter, and learning by example.
Thanks,
Ken
