Don't make the mistake, as I once did, of confusing Chris Nandor with Chris Nebel. The latter is the guru on the AppleScript mailing list who corrected me when I referred to AppleScript as "natural English". It's "English - like" to the cognoscenti. It's the AppleScript dictionaries that make scripting so obscure. Statements, intended to allow ordinary Mac users to write scripts, like: "document inherits all of the properties of the superclass" are not likely to be found in the Camel book or Learning Perl.. -- Applescript syntax is like English spelling: Roughly, but not thoroughly, thought through.
