Scripts and version 5

[Beraz]

Hello !

 

 

 

I have just upgraded to version 5 (Mac OS 9.2.2 french).

 

My Applescripts don't work anymore.

 

Retrospect does not have an AS dictionary.

 

 

 

Have I missed something ?

 

Without solution, I will be obliged to downgrade, unfortunately.

 

Thank you in advance to help me.

AppleScript does work with 5.0, you just can't let Retrospect Autolaunch

 

under Mac OS X.

 

 

 

It does have a dictionary. I just double checked.
