It doesn't like the machine being a variable like that. What I got to work is. set machineList to {application "Finder" of machine "eppc:// lively:[log in to unmask]"} repeat with thisMachine in machineList using terms from application "Finder" tell thisMachine open file "iTunes.app" of folder "Applications" of startup disk end tell end using terms from end repeat Add more machines to the list as needed. Also note that I am telling Finder to open the application. -Mark I don't work. The computers work. I just tell them how to do it.
