| Hi All,
I use the following handler to add a file to the dock. This works really well except if the file is already in the dock, it add it again! I'm having trouble figuring out the shell command to remove the file from the dock.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot All the Best Dave

do shell script myShellCommandString do shell script "sh -c \"killall Dock\"" end AddFileToDock |
