      First I have never done the scripting and I am pretty bad with writing a code.

      I have a problem in hand that AppleScript would probably solve.
      So when my computer starts I need one app to complete the startup and have MIDI port active before the other app starts checking available devises while starting up. I put these tho in Login items, but they start too back-to-back.
      So I think if I have a AppleScript in Login items instead that initiates the start of these apps one after another I would be set.
      Follow Up:
      So I modified a script I found to do this
      Code:
      tell application ”X”
      open ”Drive name:Users:yourname:Desktop:file1.etc”
      delay 3
      tell application ”Y”
      open ”Drive name:Users:yourname:Desktop:file2.etc”
      I save it as app and put this in login items.
      It seems to work. What you think?

        Seems right... though you seem to be missing the "end tell" statement... but in theory the idea that you 1) open app a with file a, 2) delay, 3) open app b with file b would seem to be the right behavior.

        Best Wishes,
