Hi all,

I managed a few very helpful scripts with AppleScript back in the Nineties,
they have been working ever since (up to 10.3.9).
Am now trying to adapt my work surrounding to 10.5.1.

A lot of my scripts do not seem to be working any more. What's more, I do
not seem to find a new grammar on the net. (The one I found was dated 1999).

I used to grope my way to a functioning script by interjecting display
dialog commands along the line. Now when I do that as in

> tell application "Finder"
>     display dialog "xxxx" default answer "Yes" buttons {"OK"} default button >
1
>     -- insert actions here
> end tell

I get a cryptic:

AppleScript-Error

Finder got an error: -10960

(translated, not verbatim)

I wonder what this means? I am glad for any suggestion.
