Howard, don't know if you realize it or not, but the PSP 8 script button for 
the Triptycyh script gives a "Page not found" error.  Thought you'd
want to 
know.  Suz

Howard, perhaps you would like to incorporate Suz's fix (or just take the 
script she posted) and use it with your v.8 button link.  The version you 
have linked to the button still has the issue of not creating rectangular 
panel borders when there is pure white at the edges of the panels.  Suz's 
fix  creates the borders with vector shapes so works really well in v.8.

peace, T & others,

I would just like to remind users again, that there is not a problem 
with edge bleeding etc with the correct scripts for PSP9 and PSPX-X2.

If you are using PSPX (or PSP9), download the PSPX-X2 (or PSP9) script 
here...

All the versions posted here lately for discussion were regarding 'PSP8'.

Rgds,
Howard

Actually, Suz offered to send you the script in a post in the PING 
Katherine & Vanessa thread, so I was just reminding you of what she 
said.  What she said was

"I have a version that works, and makes the rectangles using the 
PresetShapes command.  If Howard wants it, I'll post it, or send it to 
him. Suz"

I assumed that her saying "If Howard wants it" meant that you could
use 
it.  But of course perhaps I mis-interpreted what she was saying - I'm 
sure she'll correct me if that's the case :-)

Glad I got that correct - I don't want to be seen to be giving 
permissions I don't have a right to give :-)

I too have wondered why some of Howard's scripts that can be used in all 
versions with minimum tweaking come out in different versions (although 
I wouldn't consider this one a case of "minimal tweaking" for v.8 so 
that's a different story :-)  However, the v.9 of this script works in 
PSP9 and up, so I'd think it would be simpler to just have that version 
rather than an extra one for the X versions.

However, as you say, there likely is a reason, but it has piqued my 
curiosity also.
