In addition to the comments provided by Chris and Davide:<div><br></div><div>One way to learn about controlling pro Fit through AppleScript or a Pascal script is by exploiting the fact that pro Fit is "recordable": When you hit the "record" button in AppleScript Editor or one of pro Fit's function windows, and then execute some commands manually within pro Fit (such as fitting a function, or binning data), most of these operations will be recorded as Apple Script or Pascal statements for you. This usually gives a good starting point for writing a script. Give it a try.<br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:separate;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:normal;orphans:2;text-align:auto;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;"><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">Best

I am trialling Profit for scientific data analysis and curve fitting and the program compares well with equivalent packages but with the added bonus of (apparently) being fully scriptable</div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;"><br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">That said, very few examples exist showing the manner in which one can script ProFit. In particular I am looking to run Levenburg fits and would also like to test the bin data functionality. I would also like to be able to perform calculations on the fit curves which are
generated.</div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;"><br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;"><br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">I have access to the Pro Fit dictionary via Text Editor but after an hour or so trial an error guessing what information the script required with no success I am hoping to gather the experiences of others. </div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;"><br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">If any one could send me some example apple scripts or point me in the right direction i would be most appreciative</div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;"><br></div><div
