Where to put Applescripts

[Jim Ault]

Well, Thomas, 

I have a quick stack put together to demonstrate my newer system for both
storing and documenting my AppleScripts in the stack that I use them.
Designed on Mac OSX 10.4.2  Not tested on other machines.

The following 6 scripts are stored and are working
setOneXLcell
xlLogUpdater --inserts row in spreadsheet, installs formula
iPhotoSetKeywords
weathermap
setOutputVolume
getUserName

Plenty of notes on how, where, why, and Rev feedback on whether your script
ran successfully or goofed.  Includes how to make it work with a vb script
on Windows.

Available to anyone who wants it.  Just let me know and I will send it
direct (136 K unstuffed)
