[MV] Question for iListen veterans...

[Joseph Senecal]

Todd,

I just did the same command 10 times. AppleScript supports looping  
control statements, I just didn't feel like looking them up. I don't  
even have a link to applescript documentation, so I would have to  
start by finding it. I use to use it extensively, but that was many  
years ago, back when Macs had 68040 processors....
