The link is on Apple's AppleScript webpage, where he'll find much else too.
For people coming from other a background in other programming languages,
the O'Reilly's book "AppleScript in a Nutshell" is probably the best
documentation as it is quite complete, "translates" AS terms to for "other
language" types, and is almost up-to-date: AS 1.6 including OS 10.0.x.
BTW, windows don't collapse in OS X, at least not in the UI or regular
applescript. Apparently there's some utility out there that has managed it
"under the Cocoa hood".
