Someone was asking about opening a document in a specified application. I have done this by modifying the fb3 AppleEvent.FLTR. 1) I launch the application with the standard launch function supplied. 2) I modify the open documents by changing a couple of constants. 3) the find proces number function is modified to find the application name not just the finder. I used an old Apple_Events.INCL that only worked with fb 2 as a guide. I think it might be on futurebasic.org web site. Bruce Moore
