Hi,
Applescript:
I think my script is running too fast. I have have a handler that fits
frame to contents that works, then on a new frame created it doesn't.
So it will creat 5 or so new frames doing what it should be, then I
get a message telling me that the frame doesn't recognize that
command.

Oddly enough, there is already a new text box being created next to
the old text box with new copy dropped into it.

I picked up the script from a former co-worker and he had a statement 
"get word 1 -- keeps the compiled script from getting ahead of
itself". I don't believe this is enough to slow it down.

What can I do?

Feel free to email me

Thanks,
MP
