I'm just starting to learn Applescript with serious intent, and find
that there is one glaring ommission - some way to print messages to a
console.
For those people who grew up with UNIX shells, and programmed them,
it was always great to be able to write status messages to the
terminal so you could preflight a script and see what it was going to
do before you let it loose.
while reading "Applescript for Absolute Starters" what I really
wanted to do was play around with the various constructs, and print
or log output to a window, to see in real time what was going on.
My suggestion is to add a means to write to the results window - this
would do it! Right now, only the return value of the final command
shows up. What I'm looking for is a "log" function to send text to
this window. The final return value could still be there.
I was able to kludge this by declaring a global variable, and then
appending messages to it, then using this variable in the final line
of the script to get the complete output.
David
