My two cents worth (maybe only half a cent) on Applescript:? I was gratified to see heavyweights on this list offering negative comments.? When I got AW 6.27 and found there were no longer macros, I was both panicked and miffed.? I appealed to the Appleworks Users Group and got all this stuff about how I should learn Applescript and forget macros, which are for children, anyway.? One guy even showed me a sample "script" -- about a page of gobblydegook, which he represented as "easier than recording a macro."? My solution was to trash AW 6.27 and reinstall my old 6.04.? (Then, of course, the AWUG people told me it was "unstable" and I should upgrade to 6.24.? Maybe 6.04 is unstable, but I've been using it for four years without a hitch.? I believe in dancing with them that brung me.)? Besides, I use my computer for a limited range of tasks, and I want to spend my time *using* it, not? programming, downloading, uploading, sideloading, crossloading, and fixing stuff that ain't broke.? Sorry; despite appearances, this is not really a rant.? I think a presentation on Applescript would be valuable to members of LCS, and I'm sorry I'm too far away to attend.
