Hi Dennis:
I did not find any conflict with my hotkey in the running app. After
deleting the script 110, I did not get the compile error message when I
saved default.jss file. I am ignorantly grasping at straws here, but since
the compile error message is about expecting window type int not string, I
noticed one line of instruction in the script, as copied here:
Int index ; will hold menu item number.
Is there anything wrong with that? Also, would it make any difference if I
keyed in the lines of instruction into script manager rather copying them
via clipboard?
Thanks for all your help. I at least feel a little comfortable whacking
around in the script manager now.
Stan
