About the Script Editor window

The Script Editor displays AppleScript scripts that are formatted to help you identify how the script is structured and what the various elements are. Scripts are indented hierarchically to show you how commands are related and executed. The text is colored and styled to help you identify variables, constants, and commands.

The Log pane at the bottom of the script window displays information about the script. The Log pane is controlled by three buttons at the bottom of the window:

Description: Displays text that is displayed when an AppleScript application is launched.

Result: Displays the end result of the script.

Event Log: Displays the events performed by the script along with the results of each event.
