i am just learning how to scripting Mail. it has many example scripts at the menu. but i do not know, why is it so important to use using terms from in the scripts. what is the function of using terms from? i read at macwarriors that if i deal with a remote app scripting, it uses a dictionary from the local app, instead of the remote, but at this case i do not feel sense.

If you are scripting a remote application, the script will try to connect to that application to access its dictionary when you compile the script. If the remote machine is off line or otherwise unaccessible, the script will not compile. By using "using terms from" and a local copy of the application, you can compile the script even if the remote machine is not available.
