First, my apologies for not including a subject in the original message. 
Chalk it up to the advance of decriptude brought upon by old age.

Second, with the help of Mark Woodring, a colleague, I figured out the 
problem.  In OSX 10.4 and beyond, Appletalk zones are not recognized (the 
actual technical explanation is probably more precise, but what I just 
said will do).  I had to switch to TCP addresses and get rid of the "in 
Appletalk Zone "Production Zone" phrase.  We're back up and running.

Trivia question:  The United Space Ship Enterprise's second captain was 
James T. Kirk.  Who was her first captain?  Extra credit:  What does the 
"T" in Kirk's name stand for?  The first captain (other than Robert April 
who served for a short time as Enterprise's captain during her shakedown 
cruise) to command Enterprise after its commissioning was Christopher 
Pike, played by Jeffrey Hunter in the dual episode entitled "Menagerie," 
which was cobbled together from scenes taken here and there from the 
pilot, called "The Cage."  The "T" in James "T." Kirk stands for 
"Tiberius."

Hello All:

I have users who have just gotten around to upgrading to Tiger.  The 
script they use has lines looking like this:

        mount volume "V095" on server "yearbook" in AppleTalk zone 
"Production Zone" as user name "nt01r" with password "correctpassword"

When the script executes this line, Tiger displays the following error and 
the script shuts down:

        Connection failed.\\The server may not exist or it is not 
operational at this time.  Check the server name or IP address and try 
again.

When I manually mount the server using the above arguments the server 
mounts just fine.  I have two questions:

1.)  Has the command syntax for mounting a server in Applescript changed?
2.)  Looking in the Finder dictionary I did not find any description for 
"mount."  Where can I find it described?

TIA!
