Re: Propmpting user to enter Variables

I did know that by default there is no StartupItems in Panther but there is
not one by default in the User's Library folder in Tiger (at least when I do
install it)... Bu that part I have solved... I've setup nicely the script so
that it creates the folder if necessary and also the lops to re-prompt the
user if they enter a blank..  That works real nice... I ended up using
Matthew Smith's suggestion, although I had to change the "repeat until
variable_1 ‚ "" " for "repeat until variable ret_value ‚ "" "....
My problem now is with the end of the same script... Here is the part that's
causing my headache:


set user_info to "user:pass@1.1.1.1/HardDrive"
set scripts_folder to (path to desktop folder from user domain) as string
set file_name to "Testfile"

----------------

tell application "Script Editor" to tell (make new document)
    set its text to "tell application \"Finder\"
        try
            mount volume \"afp://" & user_info & "\"
        on error
            display dialog \"There was an error mounting the shared drive.\"
buttons {\"Cancel\"} default button 1
        end try
    end tell"
    compile it
    save as "application" in ((path to desktop folder from user domain) &
file_name) run only "true"
end tell

----------------

What happens if I run this script I get an NSInternalScript Error... But I
can't find whats wrong though... Can some one help ?
