OSX file sharing - Rev

[Richard Miller]

Jim,

Like I said, your code seems to work fine. But it only works when the  
Lock button on the bottom left is in its unlocked state... which  
makes sense. Is there a way through Applescript to lock and unlock  
that button? I'd prefer to keep the panel locked until I'm ready to  
turn off file sharing via script. At that point, I'd want to unlock  
the panel via script. Then once file sharing has been turned off, re- 
lock the panel. Do you know how to do this?

Thanks.
Richard
