I am using Script Editor 2.0 (v36) and I can't get it to record any of my actions whether I am in the finder or any other app. Is there a problem with this version?

The application has to be recordable. Although the OS X Finder (at least in Panther 10.3.2) is recordable, not all functions are recordable. Here is a script I recorded, with notes about what wasn't recorded.

tell application "Finder"
activate
make new Finder window
make new folder at startup disk with properties {name:"untitled folder"}
set name of folder "untitled folder" of startup disk to "foo "
set target of Finder window 1 to folder "foo " of startup disk
--the above line was recorded when I double-clicked the folder's icon
set position of Finder window 1 to {241, 307}
--I assume this happened when the folder opened.
--I option-dragged a file from the desktop to the folder, and I dragged the copied file, the original file, and the folder to the trash; none of those drags were recorded.
empty trash
end tell
