To all ASUL Members:
To see the images I posted below, please use this link to to the groups.io:
https://apple-dev.groups.io/g/applescript/message/86
My message to the ASUL was rejected for being too large. ASUL has a ridiculous
limit of 128 KB.
Another good reason we should all move our AppleScript discussions to groups.io.
This is also a good reason to post messages to both ASUL and groups.io.
Best Regards,

Phil,
Thanks for posting this. This is a huge tip!
For those that don't have SD6, or, like me, not sure what Phil is referring to,
here's a screen shot of the lower Inspector Panel of SD6, after I have entered
the simple script below:
[Unable to attach image to ASUL -- causes msg to be rejected for being too
large]
Here is another screenshot where I have expanded the "UI elements" list:

large]

tell application "System Events"
#~-- your code goes here...~#
end tell
is a common go-to I use, where I never fill in the ‘your code goes here’ part
or even compile the script. I just leave the cursor on the first line within
“System Events” and use SD’s live inspector to browse the goodies.
