PSP 9 Frame Script

Below is a copy of a message in the Paint Shop Pro Scrapbooking forum. Below the horizontal line is text that works in Paint Shop Pro version 9 for a script that places a frame around a photograph.

Copy all the text below the line into your clipboard, by selecting it, and then pressing the combination CTL-C. Open up Notepad, and paste by pressing the key combination CTL-V. Make sure that you have not highlighted anything ABOVE the horizontal line, nor the .

})

If you see anything below the }) characters, delete them by selecting, then the delete key.

Then: from Notepad > SaveAs > My Documents\My PSP Files\SimpleRibbonFrame9.PspScript

Remember that upper and lowercase are important for file names and extensions.

Since this is a python script, all spaces, tabs, and punctuation are EXTREMELY important. Just be absolutely sure that you've not selected graphics or horizontal rules, nor message components. Don't insert spaces, tabs or carriage returns. Never use your word processor.

I dare you!
