I hadn't realized that you had to empty the trash to remove files from the hard drive. When did they come up with that feature and where have I been the last...
Hi all.. I am getting ready to upgrade my G5 to Leopard. That means finally losing Classic. I have downloaded the Sheepshaver package (and have already ...
Glad you got it working, I don't know why the text editor didn't work for you. It might be because it is very picky about syntax and variable order. I think I...
... I tried an Applescript, but you're right, it's not scriptable. It would actually be easier for someone to add the core suite of Applescript support, e.g. ...
Tina, thanks for your kind words. It really doesn't matter whether you install SS or Leopard first, except that an OS update is a good time to "refresh" your...

A few messages here have focused on how to make SheepShaver run with as little OS X screen elements as possible. The following method will make SheepShaver run...
Nice tip! I hadn't realized that System Events could set window position. ... Another way is telling the application itself to activate, rather than having the...
Here's a more elegant version of the script (though without John's suggestion of simply telling SheepShaver to run - will try that next): As before, the line...
Does anyone have a version of Batchmond that works on OS9? I have something stuck in the Trash that won't empty, and I'd like to take care of it with...
... I think that you mean BatChmod, and no, there is no version for OS 9. OS 9 is not based on UNIX like OS X is, and BatChmod is a UNIX- type tool. To...
I tried John's suggestion of simply using "tell application SheepShaver to run" at the top of the script I posted in a previous message, but the SheepShaver...
Hi, Randy. Yes, I meant BatChmod. I tried your fix. Unfortunately, I could not replace the obdurate folder because it has locked items in it. The obdurate item...
John, That is what you originally suggested, and it works perfectly. My mistake was misremembering the command and using "run" which doesn't work correctly, ...
Background: I have a set of WP Win 8.0 templates and macros (mostly form based questions and a macro to merge WP documents) and need to duplicate this ...
... Not a problem, and thank you again for your exceptional contributions to WPMac. Applescript has a few commands that are misleadingly similar. Run tells an...
WP Windows and WP Mac have different macro languages, so a rewrite would be involved. It would not be too much trouble; it would be more of an effort...

... Rick, sorry to take so long to get to this, but I can't duplicate it, at least in SheepShaver on Intel (my PPC Mac is currently down). Note Editor 5.0 runs...
John, thanks again for all your help. I will certainly try out the new note editor. I'm not sure what was going on. I was having intermittent issues with the...
