hi all
new to the list here: i've written a few basic applescripts and have now got
a few books and am starting to learn it from the beginning, a few questions
. . .
1. if i have script editor & applescript 1.4.3 installed on mac os 9.0.4 do
i need the applescript 1.1 extension running?
is 1.4.3 the most up to date version for os 9.0.4?
--
i'm using the tao of applescript as a learning tool, maybe it is outmoded
commands?
whenever i try this script (like the book's), i get an error:
set the contents of window 1 of application "simpletext" to "this is a bad
ass applescript."
the error reads: can't set contents of window 1 . . .
can anyone help me with this?
--
also: in regard to tao of applescript: disk two-tao disk was unreadable
i think it is a 720k and my vst superdisk drive won't recognize it!
anywhere i can download that archive?
i know it's rather old, 1994, so maybe it doesn't matter

i also have the new applescript in a nutshell by o'reilly
thanks!
