a conundrum

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi John,

What happens if you insert your script into front in a startUp handler? 
Would that solve the problem (partly)?

If I drag and drop the document on the app icon the first time, no dialogs appear. If I do a drag and drop two or three times I then get the expected dialogs.  The first contains “aevt odoc” and the second gives me the path to the file.  I always get an “aevt quit” when I quit the app.

The appleEvent handler is basically the same between them (there are no dialogs in the original) and I cannot for the life of me figure out what changed and why, after several drag and drops, I then get the dialogs.  Also, vary rarely, the app launches and reads the document when I double click on the document.
