I wonder if you could provide a bit more detail on how
to do this. I right-clicked on my dataviewer_mac_script_source.txt
file and chose Open With, found the Other -> AppleScript ->
Script Editor, application and tried to open the file. I get
an error message that the Script Editor cannot edit documents
in plain text format. :-(
Looking for more ideas.
Thanks,
David
