Problem: I want to open the front-most file in BBEdit in another
application by pressing some keyboard command.
Let's say the other application is TextEdit, but it could be any
application.
In that case, you'll use:
tell application "TextEdit"
open <foo>
end tell
set thefile to document 1 of application "BBEdit"
A document has properties, one of which is its file -- documents
don't equate to files on disk, though. So, "<foo>" in the above becomes:
file of document 1 of application "BBEdit"
Thus:
tell application "TextEdit"
open file of document 1 of application "BBEdit"
end tell
2. recommend a good "AppleScript for beginners" book?
