Hi Applescript-Users,
My name is Joe Lachoff, I am the coordinator of the Glenview Elementary PTA iMac Program, a program that puts donated iMac G3s into the classrooms at our local public elementary school in Oakland, California. This is an all volunteer program and we operate without any budget.


I personally do most of the work to restore these computers and make sure they all have the same software and settings. One challenge we currently have is that the youngest children often close the last window in Internet Explorer 5.1, and can't figure out how to get a new window back. An ideal solution would be a simple applescript that just quits IE upon the closure of the last open window in the application. The children know how to launch IE, and when they launch it again, it will automatically open a new window, as desired.

If someone on this list can help out by pointing me to a script that does this, or, if you have the ability to write such a (seemingly) simple script and donate it to the program, we would be very appreciative indeed. Please note that the computers are all running Mac OS 9.2.2, with IE 5.1.7.

Thanks in advance,
Joe Lachoff
Coordinator, Glenview Elementary PTA iMac Program
