I tend to write many comments, but short ones. So I doubt this would help me
much. Still, it might be worth giving it a try. Thanks for the tip.
FYI, i've used Frontier 6 on Mac OS 9/Classic to do this,
but i haven't tried it with (nor spent $900 for) Frontier 7
on Mac OS X. i've got a license for Radio 8 on X (great, and
only $40), but it doesn't seem to have the generalized OSA
language capability; you must use UserTalk. (correct me if
i'm wrong, anyone else who might be using Radio...)
nonetheless, the comments issue seems to center on the
desire to visualize large amounts of code. for that, an
outliner can't be beat. add to that Frontier's database,
namespace controls, and it's facility in modularizing
scripts and you get my main reason for using Frontier/Radio:
easier to manage complexity. i find AppleScript easier and
more portable for short scripts, but it's a pain for large
projects.
