John,
Thanks so much for trying to help me out here! your time is much
appreciated. I downloaded Jon's Commands and will try to make heads or tails
of it.
In the meantime I tried your text in text editor and got the following error
result when checking the syntax: "expected end of line, etc. but found
identifier" as syntax error message and "deleteimage" in the script
highlighted. I am sure I am doing something silly, if you have the patience
to correct me that would be wonderful.
Thanks,
Hans
