Where to put Applescripts

[Thomas McGrath III]

Robert,

Very simple and clear now. I was thinking that token had some magic  
etc. to it and of course was over complicating matters. This is very  
doable for me and I can see how this would work in a field, variable,  
custom prop etc.
Now on to some token rules i.e. naming constructs.

Thanks again,

Tom
