It has been true since the beginning of time (1993) that you cannot 'tell' a variable but must instead 'tell' the application, at least in most cases. It's one of the reasons why us old timers think of AppleScript as a "trial and error" language. You have to learn many of the rules by doing, not by reading the manual. I wrote this particular issue up at length many years ago in two old articles that are still available on The AppleScript Sourcebook at <http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=24570> and <http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=24569>. Some of what I wrote then is no longer completely true, thanks to the ongoing evolution of AppleScript. -- Bill Cheeseman - b...@cheeseman.name _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
