That is what I am saying. How powerful is AppleScript now with all of the other scripting languages available?
My test.cgi script is an applescript I saved with the .cgi extension per Apple's website info. Apache still does not want to execute it. Do I have to do something to Apache outside of making the .cgi executable for applescript?
I know how to find a dictionary. Reading it is a chore in it self. You have to hunt down the objects and then figure out what key words to use to make them interact with each other. And the only documentation for this that I have seen, is keep hacking away until you get it. Which is not a very good method for figuring out what info is in the dictionary. So what if I know what type wach object is, I also need to figure out what words to use to make them interact with each other and this is only covered in the basics and not a lot of theory involved.
Basically what I'm looking for is some concrete language rules. I guess you could say there are concrete rules for applescript, but if you compare it to C, Java, Perl, or Python, it does not seem all that concrete. Every language has their variable types and there iteration loops, but AppleScript does some funky things with objects I think.
Not that I'm dogging AppleScript. I'm just not that familiar with it and am looking for good info to help me familiarize myself with the language. But the info I've come across is limited in scope.
Thanks.
