Question on keywords


  • Subject: Question on keywords

Hi People,

I saw on different messages in this list, that the AppleScripts start with some keywords like 

use AppleScript version "2.4" # Yosemite or higher
use framework "Foundation"
use scripting additions

I have no clue, what these keywords actually do.

So:
use AppleScript version „2.4" # Yosemite or higher

If I´ve understood the discussions, this means that the AppleScript runs only on Systems that have installed AppleScript version 2.4 or later. 
Is this correct?

And:
use framework „Foundation"

Is this a restriction, in the meaning of: just use this framework?
Are there other „frameworks“, installed by default or do they have to be installed separately?
Could someone please point me to a resource, where I can learn, what a „framework“ actually is and does?

And last:
use scripting additions

Do I have to install these „scripting additions“ additionally?
Could someone please point me to a resource, where I can learn, what a „scripting addition“ actually is and does?

Thanks in advance!


With kindest regards…
…Maik Waschfeld
