This last digest has lots of food for thought! To start digesting, I copied and pasted Shane's script to a new file, saved it as a .scpt, dropped it innto my scripts folder, and ran it. Works great, except the postscript opens into Apple's TextEdit rather than Preview. The file _is_ postscript, but the name ends in .txt. Obviously, TextEdit renders it as text, so it's not terribly useful. I checked -- /Applications/Preview.app exists, so how's it getting ahold of TextEdit? - Brian Johnson, Seattle
