:-) Actually, I have/use: AppleScript, The Missing Manual (Pogue Press/O'Reilly) (c) 2005 by Adam Goldstein (Has sections organized by function, like "backing up file", "commanding other applications", "saving files", etc.) AppleScript in a Nutshell (O'Reilly) (c) 2001 by Bruce W. Perry (More technical, "dictionary"-type format) And the venerable... Danny Goodman's AppleScript Handbook, 2nd Ed (Random House) (c) 1994 by Danny Goodman (More basic, beginner-level stuff with sections of controlling other apps) Of the three, "The Missing Manual" is one I use the most when I'm looking to write a specific function, and "Nutshell" when I'm looking for a specific token to do a specific thing. Both I'd recommend... Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
