I just discovered this amazing collection of AppleScript templates Apple has provided for building AppleScript apps in Leopard. I can't wait to find the time to explore all of these, which cover such topics as:

1. Math routines
2. HTML routines
3. Sorging routines
4. Text manipulation
5. Working with lists
6. Text encoding/decoding
7. Writing to files
8. Finder droplets

Thank you, Apple!
