AppleScript is a scripting language that enables you to control Mac OS applications and system software directly, without the use of input devices such as the mouse or keyboard.

AppleScript Language Guide for AppleScript 1.3.7 This document is the definitive description of the AppleScript scripting language. It is an essential reference for anyone using AppleScript to modify existing scripts or write new ones. The Language Guide has been revised to cover new features through AppleScript 1.3.7, to include examples from the Mac OS and the Finder, to improve formatting for online viewing, and to correct errors.
