Re: Scripting Interface Design



I use AppleScript (beginner level, self-taught). I bought the main books. The dictionary for Excel is barely comprehensible. Mostly, because usage is not there. I would welcome a system that helps me code as I learn and learn as I code. I have searched and I have not found. What is the Max help system? (Mac's??) I would appreciate recommendation for books or online help. Mostly I deal with merging and manipulation of data that is originally in Excel files.

thank you

I think you're confusing design with implementation

I think someone may be confusing AppleScript users with AppleScript implementors. Wouldn't this thread be more at home on the implementors list?

Ed,

That's been anticipated and done.


Everyone,

Just in case anyone has ever had a problem making sense out of a scripting dictionary, that's what we're talking about and that's where your opinion could be valuable for implementors.

If you've ever encountered a help system that works better that what we have now, please speak up. I for one, really enjoyed the Max help system -- where Option-Click on a symbol takes you to a working example (with graphics if warranted).

Thanks,

Philip Aker
