Subject: RE: How to Get Stock Quotes

This would be a tedious and unnecessary solution, but it would work (on OS X)

All installations of OS X come with AppleScript, and one of the example scripts is about fetching a stock quote. You could modify the script so that you pass it a four or three character code (the stock code) when it runs, and then the script would go look up the quote.

Of course, this would mean running a compiled script as opposed to raw apple events, and so therefore you may get into a speed issue.

HTH,

Dave
