Here's what I do. I usually don't like defining global variables. I define a global variable at the beginning of the script global: "theText" tell application "PowerMail" set theText to the selection --if that works then it's really simple end tell I find this takes care of the problem between passing variables between different tell statements. See if that works for you. If PM doesn't like the assignment of the variable from the selection you'll have to figure something else from the message that you want to capture (From, Subject, whatever) and assign that in the usual fashion. I think defining a global variable will make the difference for you here. -- Andy Fragen On Wed, Apr 28, 2004, Marlyse Comte said: > >Thanks Andy. > >I still believe that if I can adjust the first part of my script to PM's >syntax, it would work. > >Maybe I am asking just too complicated of what I need. > >It's just 2 things: > >how do I define a variable, e.g. called theText >and how do I copy a PM selection into that variable so I can pass it on? > >I get to the point of having PM's selection copied but then I get AS >error of the variable theText not defined.
