This doesn't address the issues that you have raised in your other
post, but you can address anything in scriptbase from any editor. OK, I
hanven't tried them all, but Script Editor will do it so I expect the others
will too.
Scriptbase adds commands to AppleScript just like other OSAXEN. With it
installed you simply refer to an object in your script and WHAM there it is.
set bigOldListOfData to object "bigOldList" in drawer "bigOldThings"
-->{"this","list","ain't","so","big"}
The advantage that I find scriptBase provides is that I have all my
handlers, scripts,and data in one file. I try to stay as vanilla as
possible, I don't even use Akua. 8 ^ ), but ScriptBase makes my life better.
I won't do without it.
