Just present the source here in your topic. Wrap your script in three back-ticks (```) to get it presented correctly, Here’s an example:

```
set a to "world"
display alert "Hello " & a buttons {"OK"} default button 1
```

The forum will provide an Open in Script Debugger button.

Perhaps, if we are not checking that there is a front document,
enough to reduce these incantations to:

tell front document to ...

?

Thanks, I will include that in next update.

This is amazing!!! Do you have a newer version of this library?

Thanks, Yes I do… but its not ready for release…

What are you missing ??

If you have done anything with my code, share your experience.
