No. That is not what AppleScript is about. AppleScript is about providing a scripting API to your functionality. You don't use AppleScript to open a dialog or type something in a text box. You use AppleScript to accomplish what that dialog accomplishes (e.g. save this file in this place with this name). What you are describing is GUI scripting. Your app (if Cocoa) already responds to GUI scripting. You can use AppleScript to do GUI scripting, but then it is not your app that is scriptable; it's System Events that is scriptable, and the Accessibility API is being used to click your app's buttons etc. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
