Andy and/or Paul --

Is one 'better' (more portable, faster, reliable, etc) than the other? My
actual application of these processes is, briefly:

The main working script droplet has a property, called 'already', which is
initially = false.
I have a line in both the run and open handlers which says:

if not already then configureMe()

I want to be able to change the value of 'already' by dropping the first
script onto a second droplet which will simply change the value of 'already'
back to false.

(This, so that I don't have to use an osax like Jon's to catch keypresses
for resetting.)

The first-run condition (when 'already' is false) asks the user a series of
questions, so I'd like to be able to have things reset by simply dropping
the main script droplet onto a "resetter droplet".

Capiche? Advice on which method is more appropriate...or is 6 of one, half
dozen the other?
