Using the Remote Desktop AppleScript Dictionary

Each scriptable application contains an AppleScript dictionary—the list of objects and

messages that an application can understand. For example, in Remote Desktop’s

dictionary there is an object named “computer list” that has this entry:

A “computer list” is an object which contains other objects (“computers” in this case)

and has properties like its “id” and its “name.” When queried, this object can return the

values for the properties (in Unicode text as indicated), but you can’t change “id” from

within the script (it’s labeled r/o for read-only). This object can be acted upon by the

“verbs,” or messages, in a script.

The dictionary also contains “verbs,” or messages. These verbs are commands that act

on the objects in the dictionary. For example, in Remote Desktop’s dictionary there is a

verb named “add,” and this is its entry:

This entry tells you what the verb can act on and how. This entry says that Remote

Desktop can add a specified computer to a computer list. The objects “computer” and

“computer list” are being acted upon by “add.”
