I installed the pkg, but where are these scripts? I don't speak apple script either, but I do speak java, python, and a couple others pretty well so I'm sure I could figure out what's going on. I wonder, too, about networked embossers? I'm volunteering at Perkins, a school for blind students, right now and our setup is a single embosser on the network for an entire building. I'd love to say that the mac can handle such a setup...
