Everyone,
Chris: No I was just running the DoAppleScript in the MacPerl
context. (Not even BBEdit->MacPerl context.)
Thanks! I'll try implementing what I can with MacPerl specific
things. I also use system a bit (a.k.a. ToolServer) for some copies
and whatnot.
However, some things have to be driven with AppleScript or at least
apple events (CodeWarrior & InstallerVise). I used to use SendAE
from the system/ToolServer command and was having some problems and
switched to the DoApppleScript. I might have to move back to
system/ToolServer or maybe even the AppleEvents::Simple stuff (has
anyone used it?) because they are similar. However, I'm not to good
at the AEBuilder nomemclature. I occasionally dig through the
AEBuilder docs, but I never seem to find anything that is really a
good tutorial on AEBuilder. Does anyone have anything?
