- -- First of all, get hold of a text file from the user.
- -- We'll use a standard get file box to do this.
- global theTextFile -- the file we will be getting will be stored here

- copy (choose file of type "TEXT") to theTextFile -- ask the user to select a text file
-
- -- Now we actually tell NetStripper to convert that particular file into a DOS file.
- tell application "NetStripper v2.0"
- activate -- we want to see the translation in progress
- Mac To DOS theTextFile -- do the conversion
- quit -- quit from NetStripper (this won't happen automatically)
- end tell
