Diane, Richard--

The "cannot open resource fork" message typically comes up when you have the 2.0 version of the Scripts palette (the quick way to tell--it's titled "Script" instead of "Scripts") and you're using OS X. Files in OS X don't really have resource forks, and the earlier version of the palette was looking for one (in OS 9, scripts lived in the resource fork of the script file).

Alternatively, I expect that trying to run a script from OS X in OS 9 might produce the same error--I'm not sure (I don't have any OS 9 machines handy to test on).

Anyway, if Diane copies the script out of the forum and pastes it into her Script Editor, it should be fine.

Thanks,

Ole
