Hi, so this is my first post here and I need some help please. I have been trying to figure out a way to launch a script that when launched will send a message to a designated computer on the same network.

This is the AppleScript code that I have and it seems like it should work but it isn't. If anybody knows what I'm doing wrong or how to maybe do it easier please let me know. Thanks!

tell application "Finder"
display dialog "Help is on its way!"
set machine_chosen to "Ip Address"
end tell

tell application "Finder" of machine machine_chosen
activate
beep
display dialog "Help"

end tell

Thanks!
