Applescript is similar to visual basic for applications except as you could guess it is only on the Macintosh computer. It provides a convenient API for developing either macros that are stand alone or ones that you put inside some of the applications that come with Mac OS X. The syntax is really easy to learn seeing that it is based on basic. I know that there are several third party applications that are made for the Mac that allow for applescript. Hope this helps.

One of the great things about AS is that you can make very effective small applications. It helps when there are so many applications that have AS capability. I use it most to speed up certain other processes. Like writing a script that opens Mail, checks for new mail, sorts it, looks for specific text in any of the new mail, cuts and pastes to a new html template, then posts it to a certain website.

I also like creating apps that open and set up several apps on startup. I know that the OS will open the apps on startup. But this way I also control what windows and functions occur when those apps open.

have you got a snippet of the code you used to do that?
