I've temporarily (I hoped) removed my WPMacApp download because I found problems in it that will take some time to solve. I hope to have it back in a day or...
RESEND WITH CORRECTED LINK: I've now put back my WPMacApp installer: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/271144/WPMacApp%20Installer.dmg I removed the macro that sets a...
Is there an easy way to put a WP variable into the Mac OS clipboard without opening a new window in WP? I'm trying to put the title of the front window into...

... Can you use the "Open Document" macro command to launch an AppleScript, or does that command only work for opening WordPerfect documents? Bob Stern...
That's quite brilliant. It seems to work when I run the AppleScript directly but I'm having trouble running it from a macro. Will report back again later. ...
John answers all such questions in his Scripting Guide, which is essential reading on these matters, and includes material that, as far as I can tell, is not...

Now that you've answered one question, may I bother you with another: Can I use an AppleScript to get the value of a Global Variable in WordPerfect? In other...
OK, thanks to John's suggestions, I figured out how to write a macro that sets a default zoom level in WPMac, and also made some other improvements. To set a...
No idea as to specifics, except that the clipboard can be complicated. It exists as a record, so coercions such as (clipboard as string) are often useful. I...
I don't know of a way to do that. But again (see last post), I'd try to generate a value in Applescript and pass that to WP instead of the other way around. ...
That's exactly what I did in the version that I posted yesterday. I used an Applescript to prompt the user for a default zoom level; then I save it to the...
Looks like it would work fine. I'd probably steer clear of the clipboard and pass the value to WP with a neutral (and in this case often helpful) macro like...

Fixed it now. The new version has all the earlier features, but can also run from the command line with a filename as parameter, and can be set up to run as a...
Thanks for this suggestion. I've now implemented your suggestion, and left the clipboard untouched, which I wanted to do all along. New version posted now. So...
(Corrected and reposted.) This may be useful to anyone who (like me) didn't already know how to do it. If you have files that don't automatically open in the...
I finally found the comment I was looking for -- it was in the SheepShaver Wrapper page. Sorry for troubling y'all....

Ted With an Air, even if you attach a USB cd drive, I am not certain SS could find it with Mountain Lion. I may be wrong, though. Geoff -- Geoff Gilbert ...
Under Mountain Lion, SheepShaver cannot see a real, physical CD; it can only see a disk image. It makes no difference whether the physical CD is in an internal...
Due to changes in Lion, SheepShaver has to be root in order to mount a CD Disk. As for making a CD image, you can either clone the whole disk to a file, or...
