What are you really trying to do? If the answer is "make a new document with the contents of the current selection", there are far more compact and efficient ways to express that. One of them would be:tell app "BBEdit" make new text document with properties {contents: text of selection } end tell Enjoy,
wel, that solves the pragmatic problem (thanks.) I was just creating a load of scripts all at once to pull Services in iListen mostly by working through them and changing the 'click menu item' line so it seemed efficient to just use the template, not to say boring. Most apps are not so easy as BBEdit to workaround. Services are useful, but very mouse-intensive - not good for me.
then there was the curiosity factor... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request? Not sure the software's working correctly?
