[ENH]Applescript Plugin

Attached please find the most current version of the Applescript Plugin. In the attached .sit file, please find:

Applescript1.27Sep905pm.cs Applescript2.27Sep907pm.cs TestOSAPlugin

To install:

(*) Unstuff the SIT file, place all the files in your Squeak directory (1) Startup a fullly updated 2.6test Squeak (2) fileIn Applescript1 (3) fileIn Applescript2 (5) Execute the following doIt:

Applescript initialize

You should be good to go.

Principal differences between this upgrade and the one released with Squeak2.6test updates is a substantially more complete implementation of the Applescript API and supporting routines, and full support for Applescript contexts and script inheritance.

EXECUTION/COMPILATION OF SCRIPTS:

To run a script:

Applescript doIt: 'beep 3'

To compile and save a script (with its context) in a variable:

var _ Applescript on: 'beep 3'

To execute the compiled script in the null context:

var doIt

SCRIPT CONTEXTS:

The following sequence:

var _ Applescript on: ' property beepCount:0 set beepCount to beepCount + 1 beep beepCount'

Will beep an additional time with each repetition of:

var doIt

You can maintain independent contexts by compiling the mainline script mode:0, and passing the context as a parameter:

var _ Applescript on: ' global beepCount set beepCount to beepCount + 1 beep beepCount' mode: 0

context _ Applescript on: 'property beepCount'

And you can share the context across scripts, for example, with:

reset _ Applescript on: ' global beepCount set beepcount to 0'

mode: 0

so that executing the following doIt:

reset doItIn: context

resets the beepCount counter.

Other relevant commands:

Applescript do: aString in: aContext mode: anInteger Applescript on: aString mode: anInteger

scriptInstance doItMode: anInteger scriptInstance doItWith: aContext mode: anInteger
