If you name the control script just the same as the main script and add "PREFS" to it, it's pretty clear what's it's for. I haven't had any such complaints from users about my various PREFS script. The advantage is that you don't have to remember anything at all - it's right below the main script I suppose if you use a keyboard shortcut for the main script people might not think of looking in the menu. (?) This becomes a bigger advantage if you want several different options: I had one script in 2001 that had three different modifier key options to do different things. I don't suppose anyone could ever remember those, although a simple command key, for one prefs run, is usually easy enough to memorize. there's certainly more than one way to do this. -- Paul Berkowitz -- 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/>
