Hi, for an old Mac I use Remote Access to dial up to my ISP and then open
Outlook Express. I want a script to do this and "receive all mail". I don't
want Remote Access to stay on the desktop and I don't want to manually see
it off. I do want the Remote Access Status window to be on the desktop.
OK, this is the closest I have come and it is not too bad, but surely
applescript can do better:
tell application "Finder"
activate
select file "Outlook Express "
open selection
select file "Remote Access "
open selection
end tell
The reason OE is opened first is that RA is active for me when the script
finishes running, then I just hit enter and the dialup begins. What would be
the text for the script to trigger the Connect button, anyone know please?
The recorder built into the script editor (Z1-1.5.5 and I use OS 9.1) does
not register my clicking the button. The "receive all mail" is command m but
that is within OE and I don't so much care if this is too tricky to code for
in applescript. But surely the connect button in Remote Access Status (which
btw is a command k in the parent application of Remote Access under the file
menu) should be scriptable?

(please use "applescript" somewhere in subject line if emailing direct to
me)
