Hi all,

There seems to be a consensus that Applescript has 
its place in our FB arsenal in spite of being *slow*.

Applescript seems to be :
 -- easy to program
 -- easy to integrate with FB, in compiled form
    or not (see list archives and Apple's Q&A 1026).
 -- powerful
 -- more accessible that Carbon

Further, I recall that Otto Schlosser once mentioned the team
documentating Applescript winning an industry prize.

So I raked over my downloads since 2000 and came up with:

 -- an HTML version of Apple doc published by Apple in 1999
written by a team headed by Steve Evangelou 
(my edition updated May 1999; HTML but appently originally 
in PDF and/or paper).  No URL recorded but I got to it 
via Steve Bender's TeX-Edit site. Over 1 Meg compressed.

 -- an HTML version of AppleScript Finder Guide.
Doc published by Apple in 1996 written by a team with lead
writer Sean Cotter.  Part of Inside Mac? Over 350Ko compressed.

Now, what am I missing?  Maybe a brilliant short tutorial...

Have'nt reexamined  www.apple.com/applescript/  for quite a long 
time.  Hope someone will do that for us.  My modem access has been 
very poor lately.

       Cheers

           Laurent S.
