Hi all,

Our Server Mac has a mirror door (no button) and the keyboard is the old
G3 green one. iTunes isn't installed so I can't think of a way to eject
the tray to put a disc in for loading.

I had a look a the Finder dictionary but the Eject command seems specific
for pointing it at a disc to eject, not just eject the tray (like what
iTunes does).

Any suggestions on a short script app that can be written to eject the
tray? Shell script?

Cheers,

Cojcolds
