Scriptable Text Editor Commands 351
Move B
The standard Move command is defined on page 106. The Scriptable Text
Editor version of the Move command behaves like the standard version,
except that the direct parameter cannot be a list; it must be a reference to a
single object.
For example, the following statement results in an error:
tell document "Intro" of app "Scriptable Text Editor"
move words whose style contains bold to beginning
end
--result: error; Move can handle single objects only
Open B
The standard Open command is defined on page 107. The Scriptable Editor can
open its own files and text files (files of type "TEXT"). If you use the Open
command to open a file of type "TEXT", the Scriptable Text Editor automati-
cally converts the file to a Scriptable Text Editor file and appends “.s” to the
end of the filename.
Paste B
The Paste command is a request to make a copy of the objects on the Clipboard
and replace the current selection with them. The Paste command has the
same effect as choosing the Paste command from the Scriptable Text Editor’s
Edit menu.
