Deleting a file via AppleScript

Hi everyone, I would like to delete a file via AppleScript. I’m sure the solution is trivially simple, but so far I can’t find a way. The easy way would be to do something like this, which sadly does exactly what it says and it doesn’t delete the file: set theFile to (open file

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

Hello Chris, It seems that you and I were thinking along the very same lines. In fact, nine hours ago, I informed Rich via private email that I had basically done the same thing as what you accomplish in this script, but manually, being as I am no AppleScript expert. In other words, I manually

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

Hello Sam, Thanks for your response. Actually, that is EXACTLY the answer that I needed. In fact, only minutes after you responded to me, Rich wrote to me privately and pointed me to the very same file. :) So for now, until I can figure out why my machine periodically crashes and wipes out

Re: Where Are Prefs for Open Windows in "Windows" Palette Saved?

Hi Bruce, Thanks for the suggestion, but what you describe is actually a lot more complicated than what I need. In fact, what I need is ALREADY present on the “Windows” palette on the far right side of my screen. I don’t really need to set up a new system of projects as you describe.
