Hello all,
My first post to this list.
I would like to know if there is a way to call applications generically,
meaning I don't wish to hard code the name of an application in my scripts.
I have to compile my scripts again when somebody for example changes from
QuarkXpress to QuarkXpress 4.1.
Currently I put an alias to the program in the scripting additions in this
case maybe "QX". I can then use tell application "QX".
Is there a way to do something like:
tell application <<appXPR3>> instead. Calling the creator would allow any
version of quarkxpress to "listen" to my script.
Regards,
--
