I personally think this would be a great help to many people...
Does anyone here bother to read the online help? You know, the stuff in the
"Help" menu? Go to the Finder, choose "Help Center" from the Help menu, and
click on "AppleScript Help." Right under "Getting Started", there's Why Use
AppleScript, Want to Know More (a pointer to Apple's AppleScript web site, which
has all of Sal's guidebooks and links to external resources including Script
Debugger, Smile, the AppleScript Sourcebook, and this list), and other links
will take you to all sorts of samples. Looks pretty useful to me...
