Hi

Thanks for the answer.  The GUI scripting is not the problem.  Where
do I find out about using system events to watch for some sort of
"dialog box has popped up" event?

Sorry, I'm pretty new to Applescript.

OsiriX.  My problem is that OsiriX ignores XML-RPC commands when it is
displaying a dialog box, so I want to get rid of the dialog box
somehow as soon as possible.  I don't really like the idea of GUI
scripting, but if that's the quickest way to get this done then that's
what I'll have to do.
