I thought about that, but (if I'm not mistaken) it would mean anyone
who used the program would have to have osascript installed -- since
the thing already requires a mac and Illustrator CS2 (reducing the
potential audience to about 100 people) I want to get rid of other
dependancies.  (Plus, I don't want to have to rewrite everything in
Ruby.)

Matt: Thanks!  I'll see if I can figure that out (and if the program
makes me a why-esque microcelebrity, I'll buy your book).
