Thanks Enrique, Jay and Shane (and anyone else whose reply may not have arrived yet). I went ahead and bought Everyday AppleScriptObjC and look forward to exploring it. Who knows, it might even prove to be an entry point for me to finally learn Cocoa itself — I've taken a run at it once or twice, but was never able to invest enough time in it to get to a point where I could actually do anything useful.

Michael

What I want is a way to enter financial transactions and, depending on the user input, route them to one of two bookkeeping applications and/or one or more Excel spreadsheets.

FaceSpan is dead, sadly, and Automator isn't going to do what you want. You can do it easily in an AppleScriptObjC-based project in Xcode, or if the dialog is relatively simple you can use ASObjC and build the dialogs on the fly, which means you don't need to use Xcode. You can see some examples of the latter here, for example: <http://dougscripts.com/itunes/>.

There's really no such thing as translating. It's all a scam. We basically just make stuff up and try to make it sound plausible.
