Well yes AS is intuitive becauyse AS is an English-like language and
that's exactly what's great in AS : for example several times I found
by chance an AppleScript command just by trying to write what I wanted
without knowing what was the command and it worked. If I see a command
in AS, I can tell exactly what it does, it is not the case for a
Terminal command.
Anyway thanks for the apropos command, I did not know it (I'll think of
it next time).

Learn to use the apropos and man commands in terminal or, better, a
BBEdit worksheet.
apropos something
reports man(ual) pages that are of interest to some word you typed in.
man command
returns the manual for the command with all of its switches and
functionality. You'll want to get the result into a text editor rather
than reading it in terminal. man man will tell you about using man.
(That's clear isn't it? I wonder if it will get by the spam filters.
