Riccardo,
Also, how do you open Applications' Dictionaries using this technique?
Example, from Apple's SE2:
---
tell me to open alias "put here the full path to your app"
--To get the path, you can use:
default application of (info for (choose file))
--We get:
set aPath to default application of (info for (choose file))
tell me to open aPath
--> open the dico of the chosen app.
Mmmh, I guess I'm going to have to try SE2, as it doesn't work in SE1.
In Apple's SE (1.6), you can try:
tell me to open (choose file) --> choose an app
--> open the dico of the chosen app
Note 1: 'choose file' returns pathname as alias. So,
tell me to open alias "put here the full path to your app"
works fine too.
Note 2: some dictionaries can't be open in SE1 if the Result window is
open: too big, such Address Book's.
If you encounter this problem, close all windows except your script.
