Application 2
An object of class Application is the Finder application itself, the outermost
container for most Finder objects.
Because of its role as the application that controls the Macintosh desktop, the
Finder defines its own application object differently from the way most other
applications define their application objects. For an introduction to the role of
the application object in scripts that control the Finder, see “The Finder
Application Object,” which begins on page 18.
