Yeah, Wil... AppleEvents got really screwed up in the 2.7.x builds: in 2.7.2<BR>
they were backwards ("aevtoapp" became "tveappao"); in 2.7.3 they were<BR>
unusable (as you've found out). This was finally fixed in 2.7.4.<BR>
<BR>
So the bottom line is, upgrade to 2.7.4 to get the AppleEvents back that you<BR>
know and love.<BR>
