I am probably completely missing the point of your requirements, but it sounds as though you are creating Applescripts that, when selected/ activated, insert text into your document. Why not then just use Text Clippings and bypass Applescript altogether? If you're selecting something from a menu anyway it is surely just as easy to go to the text clipping drop-down as the Scripts menu? But as I say, I'm probably misunderstanding what you're trying to achieve; from your email you sound very far from being a dunce and so I assume that if text clippings were the answer then you'd have thought of that by now. ;-) Oh, just a thought though: do you know that there is that little icon near the top left of any message being composed (as opposed to a received one) that displays a list of all your text clippings, ready for selection? If you, by chance, hadn't stumbled across that then I would quite understand you not thinking that text clippings are very useful. >Is there a keyboard shortcut for moving a file to another folder?

The closest thing that matches that is that if a message is open in its own window, there is a filing drop-down menu that reveals all of your folders. If you, like me, do almost everything inside the Browser's 3 (or 2) panes then you may have missed that feature.
