I have reviewed the beta release of the frutibat docs and I have to say
you've done a wonderful job as usual. I could only find a single
problem, but I think it is significant. In the part of the example
script that says:
put fruitbat theBat into theWater
the line should probably be preceded by:
set the consciousness of fruitbat theBat to false
The only reason I mention it is because if the consciousness is true,
the contents of theWater exceeds the windowBoundingRect and goes all
over the desktop, which means you have to do an awful lot of cleanup
after the script runs.
Other than that, a most excellent job.
