1. Launch Smile.
2. In the worksheet that opens (or in one you make, Cmd-N)
type a line of code.
3. Press 'Enter' (not return)
That's it.
It's an interactive AS terminal.
Notes:
A) you can't execute a line that is not a fully executable line of code.
That is, if you type and execute "repeat with x from 2 to 4"
you will get an error, because that's not a fully executable line.
In that case, you'd manually select the full 'repeat loop' and press
'enter' to execute.
B) From the 'Scripting' menu, you can choose 'tell...' and then select a
running app, and then you can execute lines that are directed at that app,
as if the line were in a 'tell' block targeting that app.
C) If you want your output in a different window, press Cmd-Opt-L to get an
output window.
It's a very convenient way to test pieces of code, particularly when you use
that 'tell...' feature to target an app, so you can check out app-specific
code.
