Screenshot and Applescript... question

[David Flanders]

Hi Sarah,

      get shell("/usr/sbin/screencapture ~/Desktop/Screenshot.png  
filePathTwo" )  works for one monitor, however just found that if you  
have more than one monitor then just add the appropriate number of  
file paths ( with different file names of course )  and screencapture  
is smart enough to get the separate monitors.  Cool beans.

Thanks

David
