Hi Paul,
An About box can be a simple "answer" dialog, or it can be a separate
stack. In your Help menu script, you need to check for the user
picking "About" and either go to your About stack or "answer" the
details.
HTH,

Hi Sarah
I wasn't too clear I think.
I am needing to know how to get my 'About window'( that lists the  
authors, version, credits, etc.)  to open when the user picks the  
'About ProjectName' under the name of the application beside the  
apple icon on the Mac menu bar. The standalone has the 'About  
' (without the name of the project) on the menu but I do not know how  
to get into the script for the menu to tell it to open my 'About'  
window  and to add the menu name. I think it must be something simple  
that I have not discovered.

Paul
