David, it's best to reply to the list on these things, because there's a lot people on the list way smarter than me willing to help.

You're saying despite tinkering with the script below, it doesn't work.

Well, here's where the smart people can help.

I seem to remember at some point I had to set up my preferences to allow for AppleEvents doing this. But that was a long time ago in a much older system. I don't know if that's still required. (It was in the preferences for Accessibility and/or security if I recall).

So the next question for you would be what version of the MacOS are you running and have you set it up to handle system events.

Good luck!
