There's a utility called Platypus that will allow you to wrap a terminal command line program (complete with inputs) in a Gui that lets you clicky-click the button. I've used it with great success in the past for little one-off terminal commands that have to be done by terminal-unskilled folks. Or you could email the authors of Onyx and Cocktail with the idea and ask them to include it. Or a little time spent in Applescript developers tools should let you make a gui for this ...

An Archive&install should preserve these settings. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
