Sorry, my message was poorly worded. I didn't even understand it when I
went back and read it. I've been crazy-busy.

Yes, the automatic post-install scripts seem to be working. One just starts
the installer .pkg, it installs, and then RKWard seems to work. I have
installed it on both a virgin 10.7 and a virgin 10.8 VM. After installation
I ran the following analyses (these are the ones I know I'll need for my
course):

--Import tab-delimited data file
--Import SPSS .sav data file
--Basic Statistics (mean, SD, median, quartiles, range, IQR)
--Correlation of two variables
--Cross-tab with chi-square
--Linear regression of one variable onto another
--Boxplot

Everything worked great. No errors.

The Mac installation is now even smoother than the Windows installation.
Congratulations!

Yes, with the previous. I mean that there is no functional difference
between the old process requiring 2 terminal commands (and copying over the
MIME files) and the new installer. They seem to be equivalent, so your
script seems to have worked.
