Hi,
Fetch 5.8 does not have AppleScript support. That is a feature that I hope to restore, but it isn't there now.
Thanks,

Bummer: Thanks for the heads-up on that. Loving 5.8 so far for speed improvement. AppleScript/5.7.7 continues to work on Mojave and I have no plans to to go to Catalina in the near future so I'm good for now.
Can I just re-name 5.7.7 application and use the new name for the AppleScript "Tell application "New Name" of my workflow while using 5.8 for the rest of my tasks? Or am I courting problems with that idea?

The following Applescript example works fine with Fetch 5.7.7 but not with 5.8b13
With 5.8.b13 AppleScript reports "Syntax Error / Expected end of line but found class name.
tell application "Fetch"
store alias "Macintosh HD:[pathname]:filename.html" host "XX.XXX.XXX.XXXX" user "XXX" password "XXXXX" path "/Library/WebServer/[pathname]/filename.html" with sftp
end tell
