Thanks a lot, I have now got it to work on PC, but on repeated 
recordings it seems to refuse to record (I have just tried out Mac3 
+ 44.100 kHz) on Windows 2000.

Since it now is possible to script the compression (record ... as 
"ulaw/ima4/mac3" etc) would it be possible to script the rate? (For 
instance: if the platform = "macos" then set the rate to 22.050 or if 
the platform = "win32" then set the rate to 44.100)

As I have mentioned earlier I would also like to be able to launch 
the small built-in panel "Sound - sound recording" (if this is the 
name in English, I have just my Norwegian names). When I search for 
it, I just see 3 aliases. The students shall record short sound 
strings which they can listen to and compare them to a model voice. 
This means there is no need to save the sound to disk if they can use 
the panel instead. I have no experience with open process.. or 
queryRegistry so far if that's the way to go. Any suggestions?
