Your Mac OS X system comes with some preinstalled tools that you'll be using in this book. One of the most useful ones (as far as AppleScript programming goes) is an application called Script Editor. This application allows you to enter, compile, debug, and run your AppleScript programs in an interactive environment. It is a simple and effective tool.
The Script Editor application is stored in your Applications folder inside a subfolder called AppleScript. Its icon looks like the one shown in Figure 1-1.
