Default Value Class Returned

Each object has a value. For example, the value of a paragraph object is a string that includes style and font information. You can get the value of a system or application object by sending it a Get command or simply referring to it in a script. If the Get command doesn't specify a value class for the value returned, the default value class is used. For example, according to the definition of a paragraph in Figure 5-1 a Get command that specifies a paragraph without specifying a value class returns styled text.
