I am very new to AppleScript. One of the advantage of AS was supposedly the ability to record events ans save them as applications. I need to script some finder events in OS X and it always freezes up when it stops. I have the latest version of AS.
Any suggestions or know of any good applescript guides?

Applescript does provide this functionality, but it is also up to the developers of individual applications to support it. Under OS X, there are very very few apps that support recording, and I know the Finder doesn't at all. I'm not sure why it's freezing up on you though. I assume you're doing this through Script Editor?

Recording is evil, since to implement it you need to send AppleEvents to yourself whenever something happens.
