Hi Everyone,

I don't have much experiance with AppleScript, I can do simple editiing and
write simple scripts but thats about it. I would greatly appreciate anyones
help! The scripts I am looking to make are easy I just don't have the
knowledge to write them. I searched all over the net for examples to help
me but no luck. Please help!

I need three AppleScripts written, here is what I need them to do:

1) How do I have an AppleScript automatically click a button on a dialog
box?? Say I get an error that I know is going to happen with a script and
instead of waiting for the user to select the button I want the script to
select it automatically! Possible?

2) I want an AppleScript to keep the desktops clean, I have three items on
the desktop: Macintosh HD, a printer named Accel-a-Writer 3G Pool, and an
alias going to the Launcher.
How do I write a script to delete everything on the Desktop no matter what
they are except these three items?

3) How do I have an AppleScript empty the trash if items are locked?

Thanks in advance for any help!! Greatly appreciated!! I really need to
get these to work!!
