I'm having some trouble grasping what it is that you don't understand, perhaps because I've been using a Mac for so long that for someone to come along and claim not to understand Apple events is like seeing someone try to talk into the mouse. If you don't know about Apple events then what's a Mac for? :) The best introduction to Apple events is (in my not particularly humble opinion) the first few pages of the chapter on driving external applications in my Frontier book, which you can read online. I have posted code here before showing how to send Apple events from a Cocoa application easily, so check the archives. And of course this is what AppleScript Studio is *all* about so one thing you could do is just read the tutorial for that. There are lots of books and web sites about AppleScript too. m.
