I think you're looking for Satimage OSAX (http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/downloads/downloads_companion_osaxen.html )

Abs (-1) -- 1.0

Works for me under 10.5.2 (iMac G5) using Script Editor as well as Smile. It's definitely a Satimage command because Smile's "Find Definition" command opens the Satimage dictionary when Abs is highlighted.

-1 doesn't understand the abs message.

Is this function broken on leopard?  It works on Tiger.

What's the replacement? I suppose I can multiply n by -1 if n < 0, but
that's a drag.


In a related question, is there any comprehensive lookup to translate named
apple events into the command they relate to?


I found this bug when I was getting a message from a studio project:

"-1.0 doesn't understand the <<event MATHABS>> message."

I suppose I should have known that was "abs" but didn't make the connection
immediately. I would like a way to lookup "MATHABS".


Thanks.
