The separate preferences script is really a much more elegant solution, in my mind. For one thing, having the user hold down Command or Option while running the script is bound to run into some kind of conflict eventually. I found that in at least one case it kept me from assigning a keyboard shortcut I wanted to use. I've only done it for one of my scripts so far, I confess. Maybe I would think differently if I had to do it for fifty scripts. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
