This seemed to me to be a useful script, so I copied it into a 
temporary directory, and confirmed that it did the business; many 
thanks, Gavin.

I then opened the internal scripts directory, 
!StrongED.Defaults.Tools.!ScriptSED.Scripts
from the scripts icon at the top of a StrongED window, and tried to 
copy the script into this directory. I got a, to me, totally 
incomprehensible error message, presumably from the filer, "Path 
variable had multiple entries and was used for a write operation." Any 
simple explanation of this, please, Fred? Mere idle curiosity! :-)


I then copied it without problem to another directory where I keep 
scripts.

With best wishes,

Peter.
