Do ... as Applescript, bugs??

[stephen barncard]

Andrew,
What is the error that you get and from where? Is it a "file exists" error?
Perhaps that is why it works the first time and not the second in Rev;  The
applescript editor probably traps for that.
perhaps you could try "file exists" in rev to check first.
