Hi everyone, I have a rather odd problem using rev applications on Mac OSX Leopard, connecting to a server on my network. I connect to a server with an Applescript command: do theScript as Applescript. I can do this just fine. But if I unmount the server by dragging it's icon to the trash, the

This command does not work in the Message Box, apparently since the message box entry field retains the focus. However, when you create a button with only this command in the mouseUp handler it ought to work just fine. Are you doing other things with your button script that might get in the way?

Sivakatirwami, You've gotten some good feedback already. We use the iMic with Plantronics A-90 headsets to do audio recording. The quality is fine. Once you have set the audio input in System Preferences, you don't need Rev to do that any more. It becomes troublesome anyway, since your users may
