Hi: I've searched the archives for this problem and I noticed a number of folks= =3D have similar problems, but haven't found a satisfactory solution to my par= =3D ticular instance. The long and short is, I have a DoAppleScript call (see code below) which d= =3D oes not execute at all. Neither does it generate any errors. When I step = =3D through the code using the debugger, it comes to the call just fine, but al= =3D l it does in terms of execution is a brief pause and a touch of disk access= =3D . The script works just dandy from script editor. Thanks for any insight!
