I'm curious, Matthew. What do you mean?
Oops, I didn't write that very well. I was trying to equate application
dictionaries to be like libraries, in order to use terms that a programmer
may understand. Most documentation for languages only includes documentation
for standard libraries. You may get documentation of other libraries, but
then you may not.
Current documentation for AppleScript may include some documentation for
some scripting additions (like Standard Additions) and application
dictionaries (like Finder), but can't cater for all scripting additions and
application dictionaries. Of course, trying to document scripting additions
and application dictionaries in documentation for AppleScript is quite
difficult, when they can change quite quickly. As has been stated recently,
there is a difference between the dictionaries for iTunes 4.0 and iTunes
4.01, and there was only a few months between there releases.
