Automating simple Framemaker tasks

["Peter Desjardins" <pdesjardins@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need to automate a repetitive task in Framemaker and I'm looking for some advice as to the best way to get it done.  

The task is: have Framemaker open each file (*.xml) in a directory and save it in Framemaker format (*.fm).  When I do this manually I have to select the structured application, click through a DTD-related message, and click through an apply master pages message.

I haven't explored FrameScript yet.  It looks (at first glance) like the right tool but I want to make sure that it is the best method before I invest the time to learn it.  If there is an easier way, I'd love to hear about that also.

Would anyone share some experience with this sort of job?

Thanks,
