Anyone know what is scriptable or not? I want to be able to start and stop classic from an applescript on my desktop, but I'm not sure if the system prefs are scriptable. Even so, how would I go about doing such a trick?

Can't you just hit "record" and see if it works?
The OS is incomplete, so its AppleScript support probably is too...

If you open the (OS X) Script Editor application and choose 'Open Dictionary' from the File menu, you'll (eventually) get a list of all scriptable applications on your disk.

Unfortunately, you'll notice that System Preferences (like most of the apps that come out of Apple!) is NOT scriptable (way to go, Apple!. <sigh> )

However, you can launch Classic easily enough by having your script open a Classic application. This will launch Classic if not already running.

However, the same can't be said about quitting Classic. I expect that 'tell application "Finder" to quit' will kill the OS X Finder. the only other one I can think of is unsafe, and involves killing 'Classic' by pid, assuming you can find it in the ps
