        Thanks, Axel.  This was the only thing that worked for me.  However,
there's a delay of between 5 to 10 seconds for AppleScript to grab the
clipboard, which makes it seem like the computer just froze up.  This happens
no matter if I'm running it in Script Debugger or from FastScripts.  Is that
normal?

        Also, I just noticed another problem with this script.  The keystroke
command is messing with accented characters and converting them to other
characters, e.g. both "è" and "é" are converted to "a".  Apparently, keystroke
only works with letters that are on your own keyboard and being that mine is US
English, they're not there.

        How can I get accented characters into the argos-translate command?

Marc
