thanks andy, this helps clarifying. >Keep asking specific questions.
LOL. most of the time I unfortunately haven't a clue what to ask. around '96 I bought a VERY thick AppleScript book, I think it was the AS bible, at the same time I needed to study another but even thicker book which was the Director bible book - I worked my way through the Director book, but never got further than the first chapter of the AS book. It's actually really a pity, because I am aware of how helpful this language is, but nowadays it's the various web languages which take most of my attention and AS again has a back seat, even though I still have that old thick, red AS book (think I was on OS 7 at the time). thanks for your help! ---marlyse
