I'm sure we can help but I'm also sure we'll need more information: Are you running an application when you try to open a file? If so what is its name and version? Protocols are things like HTTP for web pages and FTP for sending files. I suspect your usage of the word protocol is something else like a particular recording format for entertainment files but I can't tell. Are you trying to open a file from a Finder window? Finder is the application that comes up when you start your machine. If that's the case you will need to have the appropriate application where Finder can find it. What is the extension - after the dot - for a file you're trying to open? At first you sounded like a UNIX guru who never operated a graphical user interface like Apple's. Are you? The open command in Terminal.app can specify an application with the -a option but not all applications can handle that well. The word unscriptable in the error message is something I have never seen. Is AppleScript involved? -- --> There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't <-- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
