I can't understand about your whole program.
But you have some another option to aquire the name of script.

If you saved the script as application, you can the name of itself by using "name of me".
If you run script from Terminal.app and Script Menu, you can not get the name of script itself.


But if select script file within Finder's window, you can get the name of the file by "name of selection" like this...

<AppleScript>
tell application "Finder"
	set a to selection
	set b to item 1 of a
end tell

set c to b as alias

tell application "Finder"
	set d to name of c
end tell
</AppleScript>

If you write to me in Japanese, I can give some suggestion,
But I'm not good speaker in English. Sorry.

日本語であれば、詳細についてお話することは可能ですが、
私自身英語は堪能でないためこの程度でご容赦いただきたく。

Could someone kindly tell me how to obtain the file name of the script itself?
I'm thinking of making a symbolic link to the script file and implement slightly
different functions in one script as one can do for shell script.


I tried

get name of document 1

While this line works when invoked in the Script Editor, it does not work when invoked from Finder.

Thanks for reading.
