Hi, Chris

I've only been working with a Mac running Leopard now for about 5 weeks and am not familiar with AppleScript or the Script Editor. I ran the Script Editor and dragged the iChat.app (since you said that app had lots of handlers) file into it, but what am I looking for? I saw no scripting interface. Am I doing it wrong? Is that how I was suppose to "drop it on Script Editor"?

Sorry for all the questions.

BTW, the actual app I am tried to read the chat log from is PokerStars.app (www.pokerstars.com)

clients provide such hooks as part of their scriptability. For example, iChat in Leopard has a rather extensive set of handlers that you can attach AppleScript scripts to, and from there you can do what you like -- in your case, you'd want the "message received" handler. You never specified the application you were interested in, but take a look at its scripting interface (drop it on Script Editor) and see if something looks promising.
