Error during command authentication.

Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.

electronic papyrus:

>tell application "GraphicConverter"
>        open {alias "Drive:folder:blah.jpg"}
>        set comment of window 1 to "Blah"
>        save window 1
>        close window 1
>end tell

At least in the current GC, you need to ensure that the comment is in 
plain text (as in literals), not styled (as you might get in a 
variable). My workaround was to write the following subroutine and 
use it on all my imported strings:

on RemoveStyles(t)
    local t, rec
    try
       set rec to t as record
       set t to «class ktxt» of rec
    end try
    t
end RemoveStyles

I sent email to the developer asking for transparent coercion, so 
maybe someday this workaround won't be needed.

Disadvantage: it's not OS X native (I think Bill is using OS X).
