My reading of the documentation is that the ill-named "Services" in Mac OS X are designed very narrowly, for one purpose only: processing strings. The only instance in which you can do anything else, without resorting to hacks, is if the app you want to "serve" has an extension or plugin API, which usually means a huge programming and maintenance effort. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
