Macworld Review: iListen 1.5

"iListen relies on AppleScript to do its stuff, which means that if you're handy with AppleScript, you can write your own scripts. If you're not, you won't find many ways to work around iListen's command-and-control deficiencies."

Google Search: AppleScript creating text files

Someone recently landed on this site while apparently searching Google for a way to create text files with AppleScript. "AppleScript Guidebook: Essential Sub-Routines", from Apple, offers a routine that "can be used to safely write data to disk. It is designed to work with TEXT files and if there is no existing file, will create one as needed." If you need further assistance, feel free to visit the MacScripter BBS.

MacScripter: Scripting Additions archive reaches 200!

Kirk Klingbiel: "With the recent addition of the UnicodeUtils osax, we now have 200 scripting addition packages archived, cataloged, and online in the Scripting Additions database. Martin Fenner and Julio Sancho have been diligently researching every osax that can be found or submitted, and keeping the archive up-to-date."

What a great resource! With Sherlock plug-ins, an XML-RPC interface and a RSS feed, it's very easy to find osaxen and stay up to date on the latest releases. Users of Script Debugger 3 can take advantage of a built-in feature which uses the online database to locate missing scripting additions in compiled scripts. Thanks go to Martin and JJ for all of their hard work!
