I'm trying to write an applescript that will find the current file I'm

I'm having problems with is finding the file name.

So I go into Script Editor, I open the Dictionary, I see all these objects
that are available. I'm certain that one of them has such information. What
I'd like to do is "explore" the objects that are provided by the application.

For general exploration, I'll second everyone else's recommendations for Script Debugger. The explorer is a very cool feature.

However, for this specific problem, you should read the Xcode release notes. Look in the "Older Release Notes" (see the Help menu), and search for "external editor". vi and emacs are already there (emacs works better), and any editor that defines the same protocol as BBEdit will also work.
