Paul (first of all, tx!)

In fact, using your script things work OK. So what I have so far:



set appliRef to "Dodecaide:System:Library:CoreServices:Help Viewer.app:"
tell application appliRef
launch --or whatever
end tell


Launches MacOS X Help Viewer normally. But,


tell application "Help Viewer"
launch --or activate--
display dialog "Hello!"
end tell


Will start System 9 up. Nothing I tried helped. If I write "Help Viewer.app"
on compiling the ".app" gets _deleted_ !!

If I make Script Editor display the choose application dialog, and I
manually chose the MacOS X "Help Viewer", it still doesn't work.

If I use the older Script Editor, same thing.

Could this be a problem (annoying) with the v1.1.1 of System Events???

I don't get it.


Mike
