The problem seems to be that something went wrong when you did the cut and paste from the Tracks forum. Your code is full of invisible characters between the normal characters. BBEdit should in fact be able to help you track this down and fix the problem. Feel free to email me the BBEdit file privately and I'll remove the gremlins for you if you don't know how to do it. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt@tidbits.com, http://www.tidbits.com/matt/ Tiger - http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/tiger-customizing.html AppleScript - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596102119 Read TidBITS!
