EXAMPLES
The script that follows checks the Scriptable Text Editor’s partition size before
opening the application. If the amount of memory available is greater than
the partition size, the script opens the application. If the amount of memory
available is less than the partition size, the script displays a dialog box warning
the user that the Scriptable Text Editor prefers more memory. This might be
useful if a script performs actions requiring more memory than an applica-
tion’s minimum partition size permits.
