Now I am beginning to feel a little dumb. I have a applescript example, and am trying to turn it into MacGlue stuff. I am hoping that I begin to grasp this stuff RSN. open "pete:masterdoc" use doc prefs no remap fonts no auto picture import no and so this works: use Mac::Glue; my $t = new Mac::Glue 'QuarkXPress'; $t->activate; $t->open ('pete:masterdoc'); but the below does not. And it fails with the error: # 'use doc prefs' parameter not available File 'Dev:Pseudo'; Line 12 -- $t->open ('pete:masterdoc', 'use doc prefs' => 'no', 'remap fonts' => 'no','auto picture import' => 'no'); -mch # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
