BTW, forgot to mention that rb-appscript-0.1.2 is now posted, which fixes a bug in the way enumerators (what AS calls 'constants'), e.g. yes/no/ask, were being unpacked by appscript. So grab away: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rb-appscript/ And please don't hesitate to report any other bugs, glitches or suggestions for improvements you might have, of course.
