Myself, last post

But we can already count the survivors...


Paul B reminded me to add ".app" to these 2, and now they too work as
expected:

.............................
set XHelpAppPath to (path to "csrv" as Unicode text) & "Help Viewer.app"
tell application XHelpAppPath

set XHelpAppPath to (path to system folder as Unicode text) &
"Library:CoreServices:Help Viewer.app"
tell application XHelpAppPath
..............................

So now, the summary is:

OMM if Help Viewer isn't yet running, withouth the full path no script will
find it, instead starting sytem 9 and looking for the Classic version.

Nothing that I tried helped (prefs, launcher, replacing help Viewer,
permissions, trying to get SE to learn its location)

This is the only app so far where that happens.

In the process, I learned a lot about different ways to give a script full
path to an app. So some good came out of it.



So thanks to all, especially to Paul,


Mike
