Applescriptable RR app?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Graham,

If you go to the Apple website they have a lot of useful example  
scripts to 'tear' apart and also last time I checked they had a  
downloadable applescript guide/glossary. I found it very useful. Just  
go to the Applescript section and look around. Although AS appears  
xtalk like it really is not (in my opinion). AS also is not as friendly  
as REV/HC/SC are not just the AS list. But it is very useful and you  
can do a lot with it.
