I've just started discovering AppleScript and like it a lot.
But the lack of decent documentation is a problem. I've looked far and
wide but can't locate a comprehensive reference manual. The
documentation on Apple's site isn't very detailed and many, many
features are missing.
I've looked at some of the commercial book offerings, such as
O'Reilly's AppleScript in a Nutshell but found them all to be lacking
technically.
I do have years of programming experience so I'm not having problems
figuring out the basics of AppleScript but the details are hard to
discern.
For instance, where is the command "keystroke" defined?
I've read a lot of the posts on this list and have been quite
astonished at the flexibility of the many scripts posted here. But
much of the syntax/keywords don't seem to be described anywhere.
How do you all discover the "hidden" pieces of AS?
Thanks!
