Exactly my point. You have to dig through the cob-"Web"s to find out any details. Who the @#$% is Doug? And what the %$#@ does he have to do with iTunes? I thought I was scripting iTunes, not DougTunes. Where's Apple's iTunes scripting guide? You can't have it both ways: blame the third-party vendors for poor documentation and then neglect your own responsibilities. Sheesh.


The point is that you can't blame Applescript or the Applescript developers at Apple for shortcomings in the documentation of scripting of applications, regardless of whether those apps are third-party apps or in-house apps.

Have you ever even used "make"? (that's rhetorical sarcasm) Half the time it doesn't support what you think it should. And getting it to work the other half of the time can sometimes be a challenge.

Example?
