Hi all,
I am creating a set of Applescripts I think many of us will find quite useful.
In doing so, however, I am running into needing to use a few functions again
and again across these scripts, so I put the functions into a utilities script.
I can call them, but I can't work out how to set
Hi all,
Never mind my Applescript question, I figured it out. As with all things Apple,
it was easier than I thought it would be. In case anyone else ever has to do
this, here's how:
#set your script so it can be called
property [name]: load POSIX file /[path to script]/script_file.scpt
#use
I'm wating to send a key press to an open gui application from the
terminal. There is a command to run applescript from the commandline.
Is there a singel applescript command which sends a key press? For
example if I wanted to send the key press k, what would be the
applescript?

Hey Yuma,
I recently got a book (can't recall the exact title), but I've been studying
APpleScript and I just started digging into this. I can just imagine the
possibilities it offers. So, can't wait to learn all I can.

Applescript requires, at least at the beginning, quite some getting used to and
is not for those who don't like puzzling things.

and run through Terminal, and in fact I use an exercise interval timer written

attach the downloaded zip file of this AppleScript and email it to you

The applescript registers the first moiuse location with esmouselocation,

One issue I've noticed with it, is that it seems a bit slower than it shoudl be

I don't believe applescript was used before 10.6, and as nick pointed out,
voiceover is actually hard coded to work with the system rather than relying on
functions and scripts to run the whole thing. If you look at jaws without it's
scripts, it's essentially useless because most of the new

devote to learning any of it well enough to even understand what is and is not
