12.1. Enabling GUI Scripting
In a fresh installation of Mac OS X, GUI
Scripting is turned off. It's easy to turn it on,
thoughand you have to do that before
running any of the scripts in this chapter.
Here's how to enable GUI Scripting:
Open System
Preferences 
Universal Access. This
System Preference pane is where you can turn on various accessibility
features of Mac OS X. It also happens to be where you can turn on GUI
Scripting. Click "Enable access for
assistive devices." This is the
master switch for GUI Scripting on your Mac (Figure 12-1).  | Figure 12-1. "Assistive devices," in Apple jargon, simply means, "programs that can help automate a Mac's interface." GUI Scripting fits right into this category. |
|
If your Mac presents an Authenticate dialog
box, enter your user name and password. Click OK to
dismiss the dialog box.
Now you're free to use GUI Scripting to your
heart's content.
