An when we fall into some error or miss in the manual, what are we supposed to do ?
Seriously, this part of the discussion is waste of time. People can ask any
question they need an answer for.
A link to a tutorial on the original question is a correct answer.
People also need international report of things that are not in the manuals
(read my previous mail on the date format) since some script will crash or broke
or even bugs (wrong results) if runing on different language (or on your
domestic version using a different clock setting for example).
BTW: all of the above is of course IMHO ;). You can disagree :(
HTH,
Emile
PS: giving advice like "if you count make serious development, buy book X" can
also be considered as welcome mails.

Well, according to Apple:
"The applescript-users list is for scripters writing scripts in
AppleScript. It's for everyone from newbies to experienced
scripters, and it contains discussions on scripting style, how to
script popular applications like Palm Desktop and AppleWorks, where
to find obscure scripting additions, and ways to improve the
performance and readability of your scripts. "
Note the "it's for everyone from newbies to experienced scripters..."
I didn't say it wasn't for newbies; I said that I believe that it's
not supposed to be a substitute for manuals and tutorials.
