as a newby Applescripter i am struggling to to script a command when the user is operating in OS9 panels environment.
any help here would be appreciated
You might want to be a little more specific about your needs.
The phrase ‘panels environment’ is not very clear.
Are you trying to script something in a particular OS 9 control panel?
Speak up, Man.

When useing Mac Manager in schols we set up a ‘Limited finder’ This restricts the access to the Mac the kids have and forces a set of applications.
With very small children we would use a “Panels environment” which replaces the Finder. This simply allows them to single click on a big button icon which launces the application, no folders, no finder. Point and Click. However to make this simpler we build a Disk Image of a CD that an application requires and then script
tell application “Finder”
activate
select file “Literacy Box (1).img” of folder “•Other Applications” of startup disk
open selection
end tell
tell application “Finder”
activate
select file “Start” of disk “Literacy Box (1)”
open selection
end tell
This wont work in Panels even with the ‘Finder’ changed to ‘Panels’ as it produces a syntax error on the " on "•Other…
This may be very simple to someone but its my first attempt.
