Ah. Thanks, kai. I see it. A property of the record returned by 'find text'.

A little background: I keep all my third-party scripting additions in my user scripting additions folder. A 'Disable User Scripting Additions' applet runs at login, and moves any files in that folder to a nearby 'ScriptingAdditions (Disabled)' folder. While scripting, I run a 'Switch User Scripting Additions' script - to enable/disable scripting additions as required. (It just makes osax management less troublesome. It also helps to reduce the risk of inadvertently producing a *supposedly* vanilla script - that actually relies on third-party functions.)


All this makes light work of testing for stuff like the above. (And fortunately, my first guess was Satimage, anyway.) :-)

(Since the above scripts were written some time back, and for my personal use, they're a bit rough - but still work fine. The switcher routine is rather lengthy, so I won't post it here unsolicited. However, if anyone thinks they might find the scripts useful, let me know.)
