  I need some help to quit...

  I am using Applescript to script Fetch. I am trying to figure out how to quit the application without erroring out.

  if I run the following:

  tell application "Finder"
  activate

  set ftp_url to "ftp://ftp.fetchsoftworks.com/"

  tell application "Fetch"
  activate
  open (url ftp_url)

  delay 7

  end tell

  -- I do my stuff here...

  -- AND SO FAR SO GOOD. Then I'd like to quit...

  tell application "Fetch"
  activate
  --try

  quit

  --on error
  -- do nothing
  --end try

  end tell

  -- and if I comment out the try & end try, Fetch shows the error: connection is Invalid...

  Can anybody help?

  Thank you
  Maurizio

  There was at least one version of Fetch with a bug in this area, but I believe the bug has been fixed. Have you tried your script with Fetch 5.2.1 (the latest release)?

  Jim,
  I am still on OS 10.3.5.
  I'll use try & end try until I upgrade both OS and Fetch.
  Thanks

  Hi Maurizio,

  If you don't want to update your OS X right now, we do still have Fetch 5.0.5 available, which works on Mac OS X 10.2.4 or later.

  If that's newer than the version you're using now, you might want to give it a try and see the problem is fixed in it.

  (Or, you can update to Mac OS X 10.3.9 - which is less drastic than updating to 10.4 - and use Fetch 5.2.1.)

  You can download it from http://fetchsoftworks.com/downloads.html .

  Thanks,
