I'm a newbie to AppleScript. Just bought a couple of books to start learning
it. Unfortunately, I installed the OS 9.1 update a few weeks ago and had a
devil of a time getting it to work. Had to run ConflictCatcher and disable
some extensions. Now, when I try to create some simple scripts, the script
editor rewrites many of the commands and objects using obscure names enclosed
in chevrons. For instance, display dialog "Please Enter Name:" becomes
<<event sysodlog>> "Please Enter Name:"
As far as I can tell, I have all of the required extensions and components for
AppleScript installed. But I suspect I am missing some important files, or
some important component is corrupted. I really dread the prospect of
reinstalling my system software. Does anyone have any suggestions for an
easier fix?
--TIA, Mark
