I don't have the Dev Tools installed, but I'm going to install them soon. I have questions on just what AppleScript Studio is and how it works.
You can make "real apps" with it. Does this mean that the AppleScript code is actually compiled into computer code, or are they just Applets with GUIs stuck to them? Next, can you make GUIless Unix apps with them. I know you can make a unix app that runs as a CGI really easy with the Dev tools, can you use AppleScript to do it? I know to get a 'normal' Script to run as a CGI, you have to jump through many a hoop, one of which is having a normal GUI program running in your dock at all times. I used to be dangerous at writing applescripts, if I could make real unix apps as CGIs with them, I would be a very happy DUDE, and my web sites would just get sicker and sicker as time when on.

Well, applescript studio is like writing with Cocoa but instead using AppleScript to write it
i wrote this with AppleScript Studio: http://www.versiontracker.com/morein...&db=macosx
A sample would be:
on clicked theObject
if the Object is button "button" of window "window" then
display dialog "Balh!"
else
display dialog "BAHHH"
end if
end on clicked
simple enough!

AppleScript code isn't compiled; open up an AppleScript studio application and you'll find a "Scripts" folder in the Resources folder. I pretty sure you can't make command-line apps with AppleScript studio.

You can run an ASS app GUI-less just like you can run a normal Cocoa application GUI-less (that is, don't have it open any windows and set NSUIElement to 1 in its Info.plist), but no, you can't make a straight "UNIX" app with it. From what I can tell, an ASS app is basically a normal Cocoa app whose objects interact with an AppleScript you write. Thus, it always has to be 1) a bundle, and 2) a Cocoa application.
