Hi! I have a script that starts with this snippet (to save a temp HTML file from Eudora to open it in a browser): set tempFile to ((path to "temp" as string) & (do shell script "date +'Eudora_Temp_File_%s'.htm")) as file specification It used to work fine in all of OS Xes until now. I can open the script in Smile and can run it ok from within Smile. If I run it from Eudora's script menu I get an error -1700 "Can't make <string of path to temp file - my abbreviation!> into type file specification". Any ideas how to fix that? Also, opening that script with Apple Script Editor works fine, but typing into the editor window types completely different characters than intended. It works fine in Smile. Any ideas what's wrong with the keyboard input into ASE? Thanks a lot, Klaus -- Klaus P. Fechner, Los Altos, CA, USA
