Thanks for the memory jog. I have been working in OSX so long that I forgot about Classic mode. I already have Filemaker Pro 4.1 from the old days.... double click on my backup drive System 9.2 folder and within a few seconds >> Filemaker is waiting for me.

Just a few scripting commands & buttons away from the quick tool I need.
