with AppleScript, but why would you?
Some people will offer a shell script solution when there is a
perfectly good Applescript solution available.
And despite Applescript's quirks that make it *almost* English like,
it is still usually more readable and understandable than most shell
scripts. Of course, it is possible to write hideous Applescripts
that are almost impossible to decipher, but I think that's the
exception, not the norm.
