I saw by another post that your solution to TextEdit not working
the way you expect is to have someone else do work ...
What turnip truck did you just fall off of? Did I ask anyone to
do anything for me? No. Show me where I asked, or even implied,
that I wanted someone to "do work"? I asked a rhetorical question,
knowing full well the answer. Just between you and me, I didn't
actually need any help. I've been scripting for several days now
and have it quite sorted out.

Oy. How sad is that? I'm doing a brief AppleScript tutorial on
Friday and have had to ask the lab admin to load Tex-Edit Plus on all
of the machines.
I wish Apple would eat its own dogfood.

Your post ends.
Is your lab admin not doing work so you can do your "brief"
Applescript tutorial?
An alternative that would not have required work on the part of your
lab admin might have been to use another already installed
application for your tutorial.
An even better alternative, since Tex-Edit Plus is being installed,
might be to show your tutorial students how TextEdit does not work
the way you want, but Tex-Edit Plus implements AS much better so your
script works and Tex-Edit Plus can do so much more through AS.
I am done with this thread.
Good luck with your tutorial.

Michael Young
