setting the system volume - very strange

[Mike Hughes]

I solved the issue. It turns out that my AppleEvent handler was intercepting 
and foiling my AppleScript calls to change the system volume. I just put a 
"pass AppleEvent" at the end of the handler and the problem was solved -- 
Bob's your uncle.
