I plan to use this as a forum for discussing new software releases and development ideas as I work on new versions of my programs. You can check out a few of my current programs in the links section.
I’ve been using REALbasic for about 8 years now. My most recent projects have all been open source.

Hey, I was wondering, I run 3 chat rooms relating to music creation, and music theory, and was wondering, I’ve made a special applescript to your program that allows me to give out random tutorials for different subjects of music. Now, what I’m asking is, how do I message my 3 chat rooms at the same time with a cronjob for every week of the month, I know how to make the cron, but I can’t get the applescript which I convert to an app to message all there windows. I have 3 chitchats running, ChitChat, ChitChat copy, and ChitChat copy 2, however, when I run the program and look at the code, it only calls ChitChat and not the other 2 programs, so only one is getting the tutorial. How can I access multiple rooms with ChitChat or basically change the program to where AppleScript can run in all three programs.
Thanks,
Jon

Off the top of my head, you can call an application via its path in AppleScript by doing the following:
tell application “System Events”
tell application (”Hard Drive:Application:ChitChat:ChitChat.app” as file)
— do stuff
end tell
End tell
you migth not need the system events block at all, and this might not even work, i’m writing this from memory. you may need to use “as alias” instead of “as file”
Hope that helps,
Tomis
