NOTES

AppleScript is a rather peculiar scripting language to learn.

RobTrew

(function () {
    'use strict';
    
    // OSX JavaScript for Applications lacks the persistent 'properties'
    // of AppleScript (in which global variables and properties persist between script runs)
    // but we can, of course, serialise to JSON or plist at the end of a script
    // parsing it at the start of the next run.
    
    // Here is one approach to persistence between script runs 
    // using JSON.stringify() and JSON.parse()
