Hi Wolfgang,

Perhaps you misunderstood me. I believe *exactly* as you do. Cross Platform
should be the focus. I also believe support for Applescript is GREAT!! Some
other poster mentioned killing Applescript, and I only referred to it in the
negative. In fact, I am not so sure it is easy to build an ActiveX control
for RR. Please go back and check the posts -- you'll find our minds are the
same on this topic;-)
