Looking around on the macperl site I found bumppo. It seems a question about control strip modules has been asked before but never really answered. Since this seems outside of the expertise of Perl what other language could such a module be written in? I'll try the applescript. As far as the CS module I'm sure it could be done quite easier just using straight perl but I'd like to use the interface of the CS. Part of this is that my desktop it usually covered by open programs and I don't want to crowd my apple menu. Right now I'll prolly just have it pop up with various batch scripts (online stuff, graphics stuff...) --nick ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
