There's now "Teach yourself AppleScript in 24 hours" by Jesse Feiler (Sams Books). About 120 pages in it are devoted to Studio, and I thought gave a reasonable introduction, based on the copy I quickly peeked at. I'm debating getting it, but as I've been using Studio for over a year now, I'm not sure how useful it would be for me.

As for the Apple documentation, there are 2 pdf tomes--'Building apps with Studio' & the 'Terminology Reference'. So that's 2 reams. But I'm afraid Studio isn't as easy to use as FaceSpan was, so I think you'll have to face up to some reading one way or the other to get to grips with it.

Something else I've noticed that may have a bearing on Bills original observation is that there are a number of 'Windows to Mac' switching books out there now. There have been a number of questions on this list coming from switcher scripter/programmers.

Is there a good hard copy reference for AppleScript Studio. I've downloaded Apple's documentation, but I'm loathe to use a ream of paper to print it, and I find that reading it on the computer just doesn't work for me. (I'm like that with all manuals, actually; that's why I bought a print copy of the ASLG.)
