You will see one of the problems if you run this script from the Script Menu: using terms from application "System Events" set proc1 to name of process 1 whose frontmost is true end using terms from display dialog proc1 Script Menu passes everything through System Events, so the frontmost process whenever you run a script from there, is System Events, even if you can't see it. I don't use Script Menu and think it's worth buying iKey. I think the best way to do it, if you must use Script menu, is as below. Only cocoa documents have the property 'path', so you haven't a wide choice. tell application "Finder" --all one line set processnames to name of processes whose name is "TextEdit" or name is "Nisus Writer Express" or name is "some other name" -- end of line end tell set pathlist to {} repeat with p in processnames set p to contents of p tell application p set end of pathlist to «class ppth» of document 1 end tell end repeat choose from list pathlist default items pathlist with multiple selections allowed JD
