Inside Macintosh: AppleScript Scripting Additions Guide /


Chapter 1 - Introduction to Scripting Additions

Scripting additions are files that extend the capabilities of the AppleScript language by providing additional commands or coercions you can use in scripts. They are similar to XCMDs and XFCNs in HyperTalk.

This chapter describes how to install scripting additions and briefly describes how scripting addition commands work. For more information about the differences between scripting addition commands, application commands, AppleScript commands, and user-defined commands, see Chapter 4, "Commands," of the AppleScript Language Guide.
