True. And then once you have the $path, you can call open -a later to launch it. Or just do: system q(/usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to open application file id "CWIE"'); And skip the later open call. It still doesn't trap for osa errors, but it's a place to start. -Charles [EMAIL PROTECTED]
