Ah. I understand now and agree that Photoshop is no AS "poster child" as you
put it, Shane. But relative to Cal Simone's PhotoScripter plug-in (which was
a godsend in it's day) and Adobe's very early AS implementations, today's
Photoshop tends to make me to wax poetic.

Carlos, you're right that InDesign is even better that Photoshop. I do much
more scripting in InDesign than in Photoshop, which only adds credence to my
premise that scripting beats working.
