Thanks, everyone! I'll go read about PyObjC. I'm not sure if I have the chops to take advantage of it but it looks like the bridge into Apple's development environment I'm seeking. GUI automation: Good catch on the wording. I perhaps should have said GUI element manipulation instead. I like my Mac a great deal but there are some aspects of the Windows interface that I miss; e.g. tile or cascade all windows with a single click. So, I thought I would try my hand at doing it through Python vs. using canned Applescripts. >>> Seeking FMs to RT, so to speak. Chris A interpreted it perfectly. Often the hardest part of the problem is knowing how to ask for the manual whose name you don't even know... -MM -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
