Might help, might not. Contrary to what Shane said, I've never had
trouble using
'activate' when scripting QXP in Classic. However, files/paths/aliases
are
finicky and I've had the same kind of hang that you describe. In
general, using
alias references where appropriate fixed those.
Sometimes QuarkXPress gets in a weird state, at which point quitting
and
restarting QuarkXPress takes care of the problem. If not, restart
Classic.
The problem seems to be with printing anything, not just a PS file.
(By the way, if you use PostScript file (myFileName as alias), you'll
get a file not found error, which makes sense.) "Activate" doesn't
seem to be the problem, either. I've quit and restarted QXP and
Classic, used different Classic system folders, and reproduced this
problem on more than one machine.
