I do have a brain, but it never fully grokked the full complexity of the OSA or especially the Text event suite. To me AppleScript has always been more of a read-only language.
Seriously, AppleScript doesn’t seem like the right language for writing scripts to manipulate a source-code editor. Ruby or even sed would be a lot better. (Didn’t Xcode 3 let you write scripts in any language that you could invoke from a menu?)
