It's not usually a good idea to remove a Cancel button in any case. It makes
users feel trapped, with no escape - even if _you_ know that the OK button
may be doing nothing in this instances, users don't know that. Always give
them a chance to to get out of there.

No. Incorrect. ctrl-opt-cmd-8 on the main keyboard works, whereas
ctrl-opt-cmd-* (that is ctrl-opt-cmd-shift-8) on the main keyboard does not
work. Since NONE of the modifier keys (ctrl-opt-cmd-shift) even exists on
the number pad, only on the main keyboard, I'm at !
a bit of
a loss as to why
you'd try the number-pad at all.
OMM, holding down ctrl-opt-cmd on the main keyboard, then neither 8 NOR *
works. Only 8 on the main keyboard. ctrl-opt-cmd-8 on the main keyboard
works, and nothing else. Same with both left or right sets of ctrl-opt-cmd
keys.
(Keyboard is the standard Apple keyboard that comes with a desktop G5.)

I don't know. Under no circumstances will it work for me. But it works on my

Funnily enough, I was comparing notes on this subject only recently.
While some standard folder names are obviously inherited from previous
Mac systems [1], the new terms exclusive to Panther [2] seem to reflect
more comprehensively the structure in OS X. Interestingly, the code
"cusr", which translates as in Jaguar, appears to
have become in Panther.
[1] e.g: "boot"/, "macs"/ and
"desk"/ (or )
[2] e.g: "dlib"/, "pdoc"/,
"mdoc"/, "pubb"/, "site"/
and "µdoc"/

Agreed. (I think the OP asked specifically about 'file'.) :-)

For the record, it was "Can't make...into a file". Again, apologies for
the confusion. I've just put it down to a (hopefully) temporary
aberration on my part - combined with a bit of an ongoing battle that I
currently seem to be having with my email software.

Why - I was missing you guys, of course! (!

the real question

I may still not be around that much for a while - but it's good to get

On my machine (G4 iMac with original keyboard), command-option-control
works with either the 8 on the keyboard or the * on the numeric keypad.

ctrl-opt-cmd * (on number pad) works for me. as does 8 on the main
keyboard (but not shift-8)

Trying to create an application that au!

mounts a servervolume if
a certain application is started and the opposite aswell, if the
application is quit, then the servervolume will be unmounted... this is
so far i´ve got on the unmountpart:
set is_running to 0
repeat
tell application "Finder" to exists process "TextEdit"
set result to is_running
if is_running is "false" then
tell application "Finder"
eject disk "kain" -- Mounted name of fileserver
end tell
end if
delay 10
end repeat
Works just fine, aslong as TextEdit is running, variable is_running is
true, if TextEdit is quit, is_running turns to false, but servervolume
stays, any ideas about this ?
Best regards, Stefan

How do you define a line? There really is no such thing in text, so
far as Applescript is concerned; there are characters, words, and
paragraphs. Some applications may define more text entities in their
dictionaries, though.
If a line is considered to be the same as a paragraph, then this will
do it:
count paragraphs of the_text
Or will it? If there is double spacing between paragraphs, then that
code will return approximately double the number of actual paragraphs
because each blank line will be cou!
nted as a
paragraph.
So before you can count the "lines" of a text file, you have to define
"line."

Two problems.
first, you set result to is_running instead of setting is_running to result.
second, In your script "false" is a string and you are comparing it to a
boolean.
try this:
repeat
tell application "Finder"
if (exists process "TextEdit") then
eject disk "kain" -- Mounted name of fileserver
end if
end tell
delay 10
end repeat

Why the {}? It doesn't do anything (fortunately - otherwise it would error).
