XTension Build 919

[Heather James]

I've got a  2009 MacPro tower, 12GB memory, and last night I swapped my HD
for an OWC 3G 240GB SSD.
I upgraded to ElCapitan last Thurs - and I had a USB issue at first, James
helped me sort that out.
But it seems scripts have been funny since going to ElCapitan ...
I shut down xTension, upgraded to 919, and just restarted
