Hello, Applescript requires, at least at the beginning, quite some getting used to and is not for those who don't like puzzling things.
If you really want to start figuring it out, there are plenty of beginner's guides via google search. Try "applescript tutorial" or "applescript for beginners". The rewards for understanding the language, as it is after all a language, with dictionaries and grammar, is that you can basically do anything you want to do on your mac, save graphic stuff on certain applications but that's even perhaps conservative as you might be able to draw with expressive functions. The best use of applescript is as follows: Automating repetitive things Automating between applications Shortcut creation Creative text Bots and monitoring agents Speech recognition enhancements The list goes on. At this moment, i just found an applescript extension which allows you to assimilate any scientific math functions into an applescript. This might actually beat any scientific calculator as i can make it customized to my needs. Man, i really recommend anyone technically enclined to take a few months just figuring it out. It's great Best regards, Yuma On 6/03/2012, at 9:45 PM, Daniela Rubio <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello: > I am really interested in knowing a little more about Apple Script.
