I routinely bring new net downloads into the same folder on my HD, and end the name of each one with ".hqx". The following Stuffit script will deBinHex then unstuff all of those files; all I have to do is select "Process Downloads" from my script menu... >------ cut here ------ Decode BinHex "Bart:Chaz:*.hqx" ; Stuffit Deluxe appends the suffix ".dhx" to debinhexed files QuickUnStuff "Bart:Chaz:*.dhx" delete ; extracts all archives ending in ".dhx" in the folder ; "Chaz" and deletes the original archive. -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "Must think...bubble pipe will relax me and I think..." - Flaming Carrot clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu AOL:Crowbone
