Perhaps I'm just not yet steeped enough in AppleScript, but the following
snippet, taken from a recent digest, leaves me totally nonplussed.
How in the devil am I supposed to parse the line below which reads " tell
Finder window 1 to if exists then". I don't get this at all (although, of
course, I can figure out what it means, it seems to me totally
ungrammatical. Wish I had a yacc grammar for AppleScript, but I know it's
impossible.) This makes split infinitives look beautiful. Anyhow, so much
for readibility.
I'd be grateful for any further enlightenment.
