I'll try that. Usually the script relates to user data (generally Entourage
contacts or similar) which would be empty in a new user. But I could just
send over a simple sample script to try in Script Editor. The Finder, of
course, is not user-based, it's in /Applications. So I'm not too hopeful,
but I'll try. I don't think I'd know what to suggest even if it _does_ work
in another user...
