Oh, well that's more promising.
The AS ReadMe says you should launch the app first. That means you need a
password first (the web site has a link to a form requesting a 'free 14-day
temporary license key'.) It would appear to be one of those Cocoa apps that
needs to launch first. (I haven't tried this - I suppose there might be some
other problem, but I doubt it.)
But there's another way: Script Debugger 4 doesn't need to open the app to
get at the dictionary. In fact it will even open the dictionary of the copy
in the .dmg disk image. SD 4 itself has a Demo mode for free 30-day use (no
internet forms required) at http://www.latenightsw.com/
There are a lot of classes, and a few commands, in the Dictionary of "Men &
Mice Console". It's definitely scriptable.
