AppleScript allows users to directly control scriptable Macintosh
applications, as well as parts of the Mac OS itself. Creating scripts
to automate repetitive tasks, can enable a user to create complex
workflows.

These guides can aid anyone interested in getting more out of their
Macintosh experience and to better understand the inner workings of
the AppleScript language (the downloads are the "Manual" links in this
page).

> AppleScript 2.0 can use scripts developed for any version of
> AppleScript from 1.1 through 1.10.7, any scripting addition created
> for AppleScript 1.5 or later for OS X, and any scriptable
> application for Mac OS v7.1 or later. A script created with
> AppleScript 2.0 can be used by any version of AppleScript back to
> version 1.1, provided it does not use features of AppleScript,
> scripting additions, or scriptable applications that are unavailable
> in that version.

 * DL Manual #1: This copy of the AppleScript Language Guide, is
   intended primarily for use with AppleScript 2.0 or later and OS X
   version 10.5 or newer.

 * DL Manual #2: The AppleScript Language Guide for AppleScript
   v1.3.7 (1999) updated for Mac OS 8.5.1

 * DL Manual #3: AppleScript Language Guide for AppleScript v1.1 ?
   Although printed to PDF by Apple in 1996, there is no difference
   between this PDF's contents and the hard copy 1994 manual of the
   same name, which I received with the boxed set accompanying
   [AppleScript v1.1][1] install disks. Page for page, item for item,
   they are identical.

 * DL Manual #4: AppleScript Finder Guide for AppleScript v1.1 ?
   1994, another PDF printing of the set of manuals which accompanied
   the boxed set, included in with the AppleScript v1.1 install
   disks.

 * DL Manual #5: AppleScript Additions Guide ? Nice how-to's on
   scripting AppleScript Additions ? Printed in 1996 by Apple, I see
   no difference in this PDF from the hard copy 1994 manual of the
   same name, which I also received in the boxed set accompanying the
   AppleScript v1.1 install disks.

Compatibility

Descriptions and examples for the terms in the v2.0 document have been
tested with AppleScript 2.0 in OS X v10.5 (Leopard).

Except for terms that are noted as being new in Leopard, most
descriptions and examples work with previous system versions, but have
not been tested against all of them.
