I suppose that possibly it would accept the decimal equivalent of an IP address, but it's much simpler to just give it the text string, as you have done below. >2.

Just open the Secondary Domains file. For example (works under MacOS 9, at least): tell application "Finder" set DataFolder to (folder of application file of application process ¬ "QuickDNS Pro Admin" as string) & "QuickDNS Data:" open file "Secondary Domains" of folder DataFolder end tell This will open the Secondary Data window, which you can then address by name or as document 1. >My simple script (won't work if SD window is not open): >tell application "QuickDNS Pro Admin" > set domain to "mydomain.com" > set prime to "111.222.33.44" > make new SD record at end of document 1 with properties ¬ > {name:domain, filename:domain, first IP number:prime} >end tell Ah, very good. My knowledge of AppleScript is pretty spotty (self-taught), so I was never able to figure out the exact syntax of setting the properties in one step.
