This is probably a very basic question... after executing my appleevent I can print the reply with: print AEPrint($rep), "\n"; and get aevt\ansr{errn:9} is there a way to get only the errn:9? I need to check if an error was returned. thanks, Rob ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
