I am new to working with Applescript, and have been working on a script which will change the background picture via Appearance Manager in OS 9. Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding which dictionaries to use and any good programmer level manuals on writting Applescripts.
Thanks
Art.
Hi Art; there was a script posted a while back that changes the background upon each run. You can take a look at it at this Url: < [url=http://bbs.applescript.net/sotw/October-99/Change_Background.hqx]http://bbs.applescript.net/sotw/October-99/Change_Background.hqx[/url] > As far as reference manuals, check out the News page of this site. On the left hand side of the page go to the “Resources” menu. You’ll find links to Books and Apple Guides.

Thanks alot, Greg, that was exactly the help I needed. With a couple of tweeks, I now have 2 scripts which toggle the background. Maybe when I get better at scripting I will be able to contribute more on the helping side.
Thanks again
Art.
