The other day I was searching thru my H.D. for long unused text messages. I had a subject I wanted to look up, to get some faintly remembered data. When I finally found the document, it opened in Applescripts! Now, why did THAT happen? I'm guessing it was a 3 or 4 year old mail message from someone who uses AOL, but as I say, that's a guess. I soon converted it to a .TXT document and it's original identity was lost, but my question remains. Why would ANY double-clicked text document open in Applescripts? keith whaley
