More seriously, what is the actual end requirement? You mention that you need to edit two lines in the file. Always the same two lines? What two lines? What are you changing? What I'm getting at is, do you really need a full blown editor on every machine that lets a user see AppleScript in pretty code colours? AppleScript is just text like any other script, so I'm guessing that's what you're looking for. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you need to change something in that file each time that's machine specific like the IP or MAC of the given machine. So, why not write a script or very simple program that asks the user for the two things that need changing, and then within the code of the program or by calling out to another program like sed, you do the modification for them? Or if it's something like finding the IP or MAC address, why not automate it entirely by having your script/program deduce that information and modify the AppleScript accordingly? Yes, scripts writing scripts. The end is near. Just thoughts. I'd be interested to know more about the end goal. Ian
