Hello Everyone, I have gotten a couple of comments from readers who at one point were able to run the examples just fine but are now getting an NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = -1750 error. Is anyone else getting this problem? It seems to have cropped up for me after upgrading to 10.2.6 - but I would like to hear from anyone else that is having this problem. Regards, Scott Rankin

  Yes, I see the same problem. Something in the way Cocoa works in Mac OS X 10.2.6 has triggered this. A simple work around is to add the following code to your application:
  
  import com.apple.cocoa.application.NSApplication;
  
  then
  
  NSApplication.sharedApplication();
  
  before you use the NSAppleScript class.

  The technical reason this has broken is that the Carbon.framework is no longer automatically loaded into a Java program running from the command line. I have another workaround whereby I dynamically load the library /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Carbon using the NSAddImage() API, and this also allows programs using NSAppleScript to work.
