I haven't tried it but I am told that a #!/usr/bin/tcsh script can be made executable in the sense that Finder will run it on a double click or if it's placed in the startup area for a login. The procedure is something like: create a folder named thescript.app create a folder inside called content put the actual script inside content I'm not sure what has to be done with UNIX execute permission bits. Perhaps OS neXt Finder would oblige by running such a beast by name in response to an AppleEvent. -- --> There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't <--
