There is 2 Required_Suite modules in the distribution; one in the directory
Mac:Lib:lib-scriptpackages:StdSuites and ahother one in
Mac:Lib:lib-scripting. The one in StdSuites does not have declarations for
open,print, run and quit. The one in the other one does, but it does not
have any declaration for Required_Suite_Events.

So I did the modifications (no copy from Standard_Suite) and run it (using
the module in lib-scripting). An AttributeError was prompted (no
Required_Suite_Events found).


And another question: is that normal Numerical not being installed in
Extensions?

Thanks,
