AppleScript: How To Use On AV Computers

Is there any information about using speech to control common, non-menu based Finder commands (jumping from one icon to another, and so on)?

What resources are available for customers to use AppleScript?

Regarding scripting non-menu based Finder commands, there are two options currently available:

The AppleScript Developer's Toolkit provides instructions on using "finderLib", a script library providing routines which script the System 7.0 and System 7.1 Finder.
Use the QuicKeys Test Drive which ships with AV Macintosh computers, which would allow you to use speech to control QuicKeys of Finder commands (that is, assign QuicKeys to arrow keys to "jump from one icon to another").

Of course the best solution will be when Apple releases a fully scriptable Finder (without having to use "finderLib").

In the meantime, one of the best sources of AppleScript information is the AppleScript Developer's Toolkit, available from APDA, product number R0175LL/A.
