Hi All,
Thanks for the answers. Adn thanks Doug for the detailed comparison of coco applescripts and applescript objc .
I have Shawn stanley's book here so i will go the applescript objc way, and hopefully bridge into full objective c apps once i get the syntaxes right and find the libraries i can use for my goal.
This is a great mailing list by the way, i've learned tons by myself but this list keeps the motivation alive :)
Best
Yuma
