When you get tired of typing ", " over and over
try something like:
log "dial 1-800-"
repeat with theChar in "abcdefg"
log theChar
end repeat
-- or take advantage of the word class:
property bNoYes: words of "Cancel No Yes"
-- go wild if you want:
property nada: display dialog "Wow" buttons words of "Huh? OK" default
button 1
-- or even (look, ma! no continuation character!):
property bBtns : words of "Cancel Dum Kewl"
property opinion : button returned in (display dialog "Well how 'bout
that?
Good golly! Neet, huh?" buttons result default button 3 with icon -20024)
-- there's always paragraphs:
property Sig_List: paragraphs of "I don't know why people like these.
This signature gets boring after 3 or 4 times in a row.
Why not have more than one and perhaps alternate?
You can have several one-liners like this one...
...and then break them into a list during compilation.
Notice there haven't been any quotes in this long string?
Ok the first character and this one:"
return Sig_List
Don't forget to think different!
