I've been scripting for a long time now but have never found a way to reference multiple versions of an application.

Hey Ken,

You've got big problems if you're really attempting to script more than one *version* of an application, because of the differences in terminology.

But. If your main problem is simply accounting for different names of the *same* version then this little number should work:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "Finder"
set BBEditApp to name of application file id "R*ch"
end tell

using terms from application "BBEdit"
tell application BBEditApp
make new text window
end tell
end using terms from
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Chris
