I now use a shell script to store properties that need to be retained: Do shell script "defaults write com.barryw.scriptName propertyName " & quoted form of "newPropertyValue" Set storedPropertyValue to (do shell script "defaults read com.barryw.scriptName propertyName") Obviously this means the script is no longer useable in OS 9 or Classic, but since the new script file format doesn't work there either, I see this as no great loss. -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the All-New Entourage Help Pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- 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/>
