Applescript Question

[J. Todd Slack]

Hi SD.

Can you explain what you mean:

I assume something like:

	load nib "MainMenu"
	
	set aboutWindow to window "RMWindow"
	
	set visible of aboutWindow to true


But after the last line then cycle through the tabs?

I am not sure how to do this, do you have thoughts?

Thanks!

-Jason
