Using AppleScript with AppleWorks

The AppleScript application is a system software extension that automates
tasks and procedures on computers and in many applications using Apple
events. AppleScript is included with the System 7.5 software. If you have an
earlier system version (System 7.0 or 7.1), you can license AppleScript
separately.

AppleWorks provides several sample scripts, such as a script for converting
documents from other applications to AppleWorks format. The sample
scripts, and a database listing the Apple events supported by AppleWorks,
are in the AppleWorks Scripts folder, inside the AppleWorks 5 folder. For
information on writing your own scripts, see the AppleScript documentation.
