For an example of a script that either takes a snapshot of the current window

arrangement or restores a previously stored snapshot, see Listing 1-2 on

page 11.

NOTES

In addition to the properties listed here, a Finder window can inherit certain

properties, such as Name, from the object to which it belongs.
