Well, Matt Neuburg's "AppleScript: The Definitive Guide" is the book for
that, then.
The reason I inquired is because the term "high concept" is actually used
(bastardized, more like it) by the media industry to mean something more
like "low concept", in my opinion: simplistic, reductionist
lowest-common-denominator abstractions. I've never heard it used any other
way. Your use is actually more appropriate, but that's not what it's come to
mean where it's actually used.
