And for that we should be grateful? Personally, I'd like to see AppleScript replaced by ECMAScript with a DOM-like AOM (Application Object Model) interface.


Then get the JavaScript-OSA component from LateNight SW.

Call me silly, but I cringe when I have to install some third- party product to replace something Apple provides--especially something as integrated into the OS experience as AppleScript --simply because it doesn't measure up. For example, I lament being forced to use AdiumX because iChat only supports AIM and Jabber. I've begged. I've pleaded. They ignore me. I know that's apples and oranges, (no pun intended) but the emotional response is the same; at least it registers the same on the sphygmomanometer. I appreciate the suggestion, I really do, but it won't make my doctor any happier.
