Ok, thanks kai, this works in TextEdit but I need that it works in
every application.
So the following logical question is: is there a way to determine
the name of the fronmost application?
Try this:
tell application "Finder" to set theApp to name of (every process
whose frontmost is true) as string
This is getting a little circular, isn't it? Could it really be that
one has to set the frontmost property of the application whose
frontmost is true, to true??? I'm sorry that I have nothing more
constructive to add... this just seems so bizarre...
I found that the frontmost application when I launch a script from the
Script Menu is always System Events, so I tried to set the frontmost
property of System Events to false, hoping that this would make the
former frontmost application (that is the application where I want that
the script operates) the new frontmost application... but I found that
the Finder always became the new frontmost application. :-\
