How to execute a FrameMaker command (ExtendScript)

Hi, does anyone know how to execute a command that your script did not create? In particular, I want to invoke the Edit > Update References command and launch that dialog box.

Thanks,

Russ

Hi Russ, I think you want this:

#target framemaker




var cmd = app.GetNamedCommand ("Update");


Fcodes ([cmd.Fcode]);

If this isn't what you are looking for, let me know. Thanks. -Rick

Hi Rick, that is exactly what I wanted. Thank you. As I look at your answer, it makes sense... it's all just Fcodes, but I did not know of the Fcode property for a command. Very handy.
