Henry, it's cool script - the calendar is classic piece and quite configurable. I'll use it (propably) for the year to come ;) I've got two suggestions for you: 1) your script runs for a while - you can use Progress Bar to give feedback to the user - see: http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&sm=scripterapi&page=scripterapi-dialogs esp. StatusMessage("string"), ProgressReset(), ProgressTotal(number), ProgressSet(number) 2) You can use the (brand new) procedure string = ValueDialog(caption, message [,defaultvalue]) from new 1.2.1cvs to get user feedback e.g. copyrightNotice = ValueDialog('Henry's Calendar', 'Type the text to be displayed on all pages...', '(c) myprinting company 2004') but it will be available only for CVS users - or in 1.2.1 after release you rules petr -- Petr Vanek -------------- petr [at] yarpen [dot] cz www.yarpen.cz ---------------- Kuolema Kaikille (Paitsi Meille) ------------------------------- Today is good day to end it all -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
