There was what I called a "stealth" release of AppleScript in the spring of
1993...if you knew where it was in the developer area on Apple's servers
you could have it. It was really released fall of 1993 in "System 7
Pro"...Apple's foolish and short-lived attempt to charge for some features
of System 7 while giving away the basic system.
It was also available via a floppy through BMUG's Tao of
Applescript... which is how I think a lot of people got hold of it.
The developer kit which Apple sold included the interface builder
that became FaceSpan [can't quite remember what it was called back
then, FrontMost???] and a set of language guides which I still refer
to...
