Good morning everyone.  I am looking for some help in writing an AppleScript to burn a DVD with Toast.  I have much of the script working, but the most critical part needs to be fixed.  I try to burn a DVD by using a write command without asking.  When I go to execute the script, I get the dialog window for burning.  I want to be able to burn the DVD without any dialog window.  Here is the script that I wrote.  Please let me know what changes I need to make to it.  Thanks.

tell application "Toast 6 Titanium"
activate
set myDisc to make Data disc
set name of myDisc to "Backup DVD" & " " & (current date)
set imageFileName to "Weekly Backup"
set file system type of myDisc to Mac OS Extended
set directoryCount to 1
set sourceList to {}
repeat while directoryCount ? 4
if directoryCount = 1 then
set sourceDirectory to "Macintosh HD:Users:gmachos:Desktop:"
set subDirectory to "archive"
else if directoryCount = 2 then
set sourceDirectory to "Macintosh HD:Users:gmachos:Desktop:"
set subDirectory to "Programming"
else if directoryCount = 3 then
set sourceDirectory to "Macintosh HD:Users:gmachos:Desktop:"
set subDirectory to "Web Stuff"
else
set sourceDirectory to "Macintosh HD:Users:gmachos:Library:"
set subDirectory to "Mail"
end if
set sourceItem to sourceDirectory & subDirectory
set end of sourceList to ((sourceItem as string) as alias)
set directoryCount to directoryCount + 1
end repeat
add to myDisc items sourceList
save myDisc in imageFileName
write myDisc without asking
end tell

Just so that you know, we are not ignoring you.  We just dont have many Applescript experts that hang around here.  Just as a tip you might also want to post on apple's forums as they are frequented more often by applescript gurus.
