Oh, good point - originally I was going to do this as a shell alias, which is why I wanted each of them on one line. I'm enough of an amateur at applescript that I didn't know how to do more than statement in one line of shell. ;-)
One weird thing: I figured I'd convert to Mac::AppleScript for an extra speed boost, but that turned out to be quite a bit slower than shelling out to `osascript`. I wonder why that is.
I still don't quite understand the purpose of the "as alias" part either, actually.
