See previous post for reasoning.

You know, I think I saw this somewhere too, and there was some obscure
reason why I chose the other one. Maybe I found the three lines on a more
recent post to a mailing list then the two lines. I dunno. I'll try the above.

Ah! Thanks for answering my other question.

This looks the most viable to me. As in the other message, overriding for
the Mac user comes as a rare circumstance that only I've seen in real life.
I'm assuming two things with the above example:
a) The user needs AppleScript (no worries).
b) This can be compiled into a runtime no problem?

It did indeed. Thank you kindly.
