"Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I go like this!" "So don't go like that!" (1) The term "point" is already defined by AppleScript. That means that so is "points". You've created a terminology conflict. (2) When you use the sdef format, generation of plurals is automatic. So switching to sdef probably uncovered this problem whereas previously it was masked. (3) I wrote a book that might help you. It tells you why it's important to avoid terminology conflicts, how to learn that "point" is already a defined term, etc. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
