display dialog "How do you want your scroll bar arrows to appear?"
buttons {"single at one end", "both at one end", "both at both ends"}
set whichbutton to button returned of the result
if whichbutton is "single at one end" then
set arrowState to "sngl"
else if whichbutton is "both at one end" then
set arrowState to "next"
else if whichbutton is "both at both ends" then
set arrowState to "dubl"
end if

tell application "Appearance"
set scroll bar arrow style to arrowState
end tell
