Re: Broken script



Thanks Mark,

The wonderful thing about Macs is that there are conventions...

In general, a scripting dictionary has whatever the designers felt like putting into it, however they felt like doing so.   There are a few conventions that apply to most AppleScript applications - generic things, like accessing windows and documents - but other than that, anything goes.  So unless you find an editor whose scripting interface was specifically designed to be compatible with Tex-Edit's, I wouldn't expect any of your scripts to work.
