If you consider clicking a dialogue to be either security or education, that
may not be a bad idea...certainly wouldn't be the only Apple product without
a dictionary...FCP/DVD Studio Pro/any of the server admin

At this point, *Microsoft* is better about AppleScript on it's Mac products
than Apple is...which is a point I should have added to my workingmac.com
article.
