Just for the sake of completeness, there is a way to get the time zone with AppleScript but it requires Administrator Privileges. The MacOS pops up a request to allow the “do as AppleScript” script to access the systemsetup function. That manual step will interfere with the flow of the program.
Create a field “Statements” with this AppleScript: do shell script "/usr/sbin/systemsetup -gettimezone" with administrator privileges and put the following code in the script of a button: on mouseUp do field "Statements" as "AppleScript" put the result into tResult set the itemDelimiter to space delete word 1 to 2 in tResult delete the last char of tResult put tResult into message box end request Tested in two time zones with these results: America/Chicago America/New_York Bob > It's the, "America/Los_Angeles" bit I am trying to find a way to grok. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
