Jon's Commands provides added functionality in the form of about 30 commands which can be called from AppleScript. To examine the AppleScript syntax of each of the commands, simply drag the Jon's Commands file onto the Script Editor (or one of the commercial script editors), or use the Open Dictionary command to open Jon's Commands. To install Jon's Commands, simply drop it into the Scripting Additions folder inside your Extensions folder which is in your System Folder. Is this all the documentation there is? Of course not. The file "Jon's Commands Reference" is an Apple Guide file. It contains a quick reference of all the commands' syntax, examples and explanations. It is designed to be used in your script editor. This file is a replacement for the SimpleText files I used to use which were becoming cumbersome and difficult to navigate. It contains explanations of each command and example scripts. You install the "Jon's Commands Reference" guide by placing it, or an alias to it, in the same folder as your script editor. "Jon's Commands Reference" will then appear in the help menu on the right side of your menu bar after you restart the script editor. This guide is especially useful with Script Debugger, available from Late Night Software, since that editor is scriptable. In all other editors, when you press the Copy button a copy of the current command's complete syntax is placed on the clipboard for you to paste into your script (after a brief switch to the Finder). In Script Debugger, the text will be placed directly into the front script window, without the annoying switch to the Finder and back which is necessary with the other editors. Jon's Commands needs to be installed for the Copy feature to work properly with any editor besides Script Debugger, as does the scriptable Finder. View the Version Information.
