Darryl, thanks. does seem to work :). (btw, isn't the second from the
end line unnecessary? for me the script generates two new documents
with this line :)).

I have been using QS just for app starting but your post made me look
at the triggers.
I will have to play with them more.
I tried this applescript instead of using "System Events"
tell application "BBEdit"
if exists text window 1 then
set mywindow to text window 1
else
set mywindow to make new text window
end if
make new text document at mywindow
end tell
It seemed to work every time
if bbedit doesn't have a window open it opens it
and if the doc window is open it just adds another untitled to the list
don't know if this will help, but hope it does.
