Sorry, I didn't see this until now. I think he was using VB as an example, which doesn't necessarily mean he's used to it.

Since this is an AppleScript list, I was trying to stick with solutions that either can use AppleScript natively: HyperCard and SuperCard (at least as of the last time I used SuperCard) -- or that can execute arbitrary AppleScripts on the fly: Revolution. I know REALbasic can execute imported AppleScripts, which might be applicable here.

I"m assuming cross-platform support isn't an issue if AppleScript is the target. Of the environments I mentioned, only Revolution is cross-platform, also running on Windows and Unix.

Dialog Director is a good suggestion, and of course we should both have mentioned AppleScript Studio:

syntax is similar to VB's, and I believe it can be used cross-platform too
(including Mac OS X as well as OS 9).


For something for free, Dialog Director scripting addition might be worth
the trouble and might be sufficient.

Off the top of my head you have several options:

Facespan www.facespan.com -- full-blown apps, native AppleScript
execution. $200-$300 and you'd be a version or two behind I think.

HyperCard -- not sure if this is still an option. Was $100 from Apple,
and is discontinued. Doesn't support a full interface toolkit, but
add-ons help with this. HyperTalk is native language, but can use
AppleScript.

SuperCard www.supercard.us -- full-blown apps. $200-300? Full interface
toolkit. SuperTalk is native language, but can use AppleScript. Not
sure if the current version supports OS 9.


Revolution www.runrev.com -- full-blown apps. $99-$300? Full interface
toolkit. Transcript is native language, but can execute AppleScript.
Current version supports OS 9.
