Thanks -

I've now become aware of a second question --

Can a macro run in the background?

Reason I'm asking: the Eudora macro requires 3 actions each requiring a 3 second delay to prevent it from trying to unlock a mailbox while it's busy. My macro now brings me to 10 seconds or so of Eudora activity, where I get to watch it run.

It's fun, but I'd rather be back in my wordprocessor typing things.

Tried to search for these, but couldn't develop a useful search strategy.

I'm trying to create a macro that:

1. Notes what window I'm working in & saves that info

2. Switches to Eudora mail reader

3. Via keystrokes looks for new mail [more on this below]

4. After doing this, sends me back to the window I was working in in step 1.

I can accomplish step 2, the switch to Eudora.

In the Scripting Editor, how can I record the window I'm in, and get back to it?

Also -- depending on Eudora's whims, the manual search might pop up a Enter Password dialog.

Again, in the Scripting Editor, how do I manage a conditional branch if Enter Password pops up?

Is the following correct:

<IFOTH:03:1:Enter Password><TEXTTYPE:[password]><TEXTTYPE:<ENTER>><ENDIF>

In Scripting Editor this looks like (minus icons)

If Window Title "Enter Password" is on top
Text Type: [password]
Text Type: <ENTER>
End if

I don't have to create an "Else," that is, spell out the path to take if the Enter Password window is NOT on top, right?
