Hi,
I'm trying to use old normal syntax for opening doc with use
doc prefs in Qxp 4 and 5. Using OS X 10.2.8 with Classic Mode,
instead of opening, script editor just sits there. Any ideas?
Posix path doesn't seem to help. Can open doc withy finder,
but that leads to dialog boxes and does not apply the right
settings upon opening a doc?

tell application "QuarkXPressb" 4.11"
activate
open file My_Doc remap fonts no do auto picture import no use doc prefs yes
end tell

That's not "normal" syntax -- something like Jon's Commands was probably silently saving your bacon. The open command requites "alias", not "file".
