Script errors on different Mac


  • Subject: Script errors on different Mac

Hardcore newbie here...I modified a script (see below)to open a Quark 5
doc and save it as a Quark 4 doc. It runs fine on single and multiple
files on my Mac. I copied the script to another Mac for a co-worker to
use, and when dragging multiple files, it will open and save the first
one, but opens the second and gets stuck, eventually timing out("Apple
event timed out"). I have no idea why it would run fine on my Mac, but
not on another.

Both Macs are running 10.3.4, one a dual G4, one a dual G5.

Any suggestions?
