Hello,
I think this is a bug in Snow Leopard. I use SL 10.6.3 with AppleScript-Editor v2.3 and
1. tell application "Help Viewer" prompts me to find "Help Viewer" and changes the line to tell application "HelpViewer".
tell application id "com.apple.helpviewer" works without problems.
So the name must have been changed sometime before 5.0.2. There was another annoying change: Now there is no way anymore to allow to push the Help window into the background, as was possible in 10.5. Or does anybody know one?
2. The line tell application "HelpViewer" to search looking for "folder" is changed to the event tell application "HelpViewer" search current application looking for "folder" end tellWhen I try to run this from the AppleScript-Editor, it will compile (translate), but when I try to run it, I receive «event helpsrch» current application given «class sstr»:"folder" --> error number -1708 I think this indicates that there is something wrong with the implementation of the search specifier : the object for the command
3. I don't know how the search command relates to the lookup command lookup anchor "AppleScript" in book "AppleScript Help" which doesn't produce anything but an error message from HelpViewer ("could not open…).
All the best Thomas
