Thanks for the info. I've only had OS X installed for about three or four
weeks and haven't got it fully set up and sorted out yet.

I don't know about Emmanuel or Steve, but I'm still messing about with
the AppleScript alternatives here because the name of this list is
explicitly "AppleScript Users", not "Perl Users". Your shell scripts are
no doubt eminently practical and speedy solutions for people who just
want to be given scripts for particular jobs; but for those seeking to
understand the pros and cons of various techniques in AppleScript, a few
unexplained lines of Perl will do little to empower them. Since I haven't
seen any objections to the use of Perl on this list, I conclude that both
approaches are generally welcome.
