George,
Thanks for the reply. As a newbie to AppleScript, I guess I'm kind of
surprised that it can't do simple things like "pick item X off of menu X"
straight out of the box. I was trying to get it to work, and almost did,
but the Save function seems to always work as "Save As". Any ideas there?
If there are any "osaxen" that will help, I'd appreciate a nudge in the
right direction.
Maybe I should just dust off the Keyquencer disk, find a Mac that still
has a floppy drive, and email it to myself...
Also, I was wondering about how the Control-Key combinations work in the
Entourage Applescript menu. Do you simply need to name the file "scriptname
^X" for it to run when you type Control-X, or is there more to it?
Thanks for shedding some light on this for us newbies.
