Thank you. I have just tried this and it works (slowly) from Script
Editor, but now I have something to put into my empty Eudora
Scripts folder.
This sort of script will be slow if run from an editor. You will
see a great difference in speed when you run it from the Scripts
menu or from the toolbar.
Using the GetMilliSec osax, I've just measure the difference and it
is very significant.
To move 20 messages (or build a list of references) takes
From Script Editor or Smile: about 8 seconds
From Apple's Scriptmenu ditto
Within Eudora: less than 2 seconds

This demonstrates, by the way, how slow it is to do things in
applications using the only tool that Apple provides and how
important it is for scripts to be run from within the application.
