So I was using "with >replacing," and that gave no error on compiling. Turns out URL >Access Scripting wants "replacing yes." Guess that's what happens >when Apple develops different things on different days. Solved, yes, but for how long? You've been told several times: unfortunately, URLAS is not reliable. Sooner or later it will hang and you will have to force-quit it before it can work again. How will you force-quit it? Probably with a shell script, using ps and killall. So finally you're not learning curl and instead you will learn killall and ps. Emmanuel
