Thanks, Nigel.
That worked. But, if I may, why does this not work?
on process(_str)
tell application "System Events"
set _appname to name of first process whose frontmost is true
end tell
tell application _appname
set _str to "[" & _str & "]"
keystroke _str
end tell
end process
And is there a way to paste into the front app. The clipboard is set
to the appropriate string because after running the script I
originally posted, doing a Command V pasted in the desired info.
Thanks, again
David
