(1) can somebody define log9 for me?
The Log command displays a specified string between comment characters
(* and *) in the Script Editor9s Event Log window. For example:
---------------------------------------------------
log "This string appears in the Log Events window"
---------------------------------------------------
After running the above script, this text appears in the Log Events window:
---------------------------------------------------
(* This string appears in the Log Events window" *)
---------------------------------------------------
A more detailed discussion about using Script Editor9s Event Log window is
contained in the AppleScript Scripting Additions Guide (see below for link).

(2) Is there an alphabetical list or reference of all AS commands somewhere?
See 'Downloadable Manuals (PDF)', below, for links to some good (if somewhat
dated) reference sources.
In fact, if they haven't already done so, anyone half-serious about
scripting with AppleScript would be well advised to check out the following:
==========================
Downloadable Manuals (PDF)
==========================
AS Language Guide, AS Scripting Additions Guide - and AS Finder Guide:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50096
While these documents are not that current (the ASLG, for example, relates
to AppleScript 1.3.7) - they are still (IMO) one of the best places to start
developing one's knowledge of AS.

In addition, a few contributors to this list have web sites where some

Happy hunting...
