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,

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 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.
