    I guess I'm a little confused as to what you mean. I'm not too familiar with Automator.



    And concerning your question, I'm new to OSX. I used 9 and earlier versions growing up, but have been on XP for the last few years.

    Thanks, that really cleared it up. I appreciate the help.



    I think I get Automator now. Before, it was quite intimidating.
