A long time ago I had an Apple IIe. I discovered when I was learning BASIC that the BASIC interpreter was loaded into RAM at boot. You could locate the string "GOTO" in RAM and poke the ascii values of the characters in, for example, 'TREE' in its place and then your program, written as
10 PRINT "Hello" 20 TREE 10
would work.
The AppleScript Editor.sdef shows the commands that AppleScript Editor understands. What I think this conversation is about is, for example,
tell application "AppleScript Editor" check syntax of document 1 end tell
we can see in the sdef what "check syntax" does. Question is (I think) what do "tell", "of" and "end" do? And since AppleScript is an interpreted language, there must be an interpreter like the BASIC interpreter on the Apple II that we can look inside and see the commands.
Anyway, I think that's what the question is. :-)
