What app and context do you have in front when this code of yours is running? Test with a beep or dialog before your key code 51 to make sure the problem is not with your code logic. | |

... along these lines: set x to "something.dmg" <newline> if x ends with ".dmg" then set x to characters 1 thru -5 of x as string
