Applescript and OS X

Hi all,

I have been experimenting with AS and OS X and wonder if anyone else has. It seems there is no application named "Finder", but there is one called "Desktop" that seems to have a dictionary close to that of the classic Finder. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be very scriptable yet - <tell application "Desktop" to empty trash> compiles but generates an error when it tries to run. And does anyone know if the "Mail" program is scriptable? I can activate it with <tell application "Mail" to activate>, but it doesn't seem to have an openable dictionary.
