Are there any good websites focusing on the old Applescript 1.1 software?
I hardly ever use applescript, but in Basilisk II I was experimenting with it.
I'm testing the playing of a wav file using SoundApp 68k as a startup item and wanted to know if there was a way to hide the application. The file plays at startup without any problems, just that I want to hide the application. Easy enough??
Tempted to learn more!

Re: Mac OS 7.x Applescript 1.1 Resources?
Thanks for the tip. That site looks like a good resource!
Here's what I've found:
http://scriptweb.com
My script works!!!
My problem is that hide is not a defined variable in AppleScript 1.1. You need to use 'set the visible of process "x" to false'.
So it's done. I can use a WAV or a SND, or an AIFF or whatever else SoundApp 68k supports (which is quite a bit) as a startup sound without the drawbacks of directly playing a SND file, and the program will be hidden and out of the way while it does it. You can play some pretty large files this way, too!
