-- This script includes examples for using AppleScript to perform several

-- useful tasks with Evernote.

-- Each section illustrates a chunk of Evernote's AppleScript interface,

-- and each section also cleans up after itself.

-- Please refer to the Evernote application's scripting dictionary for

-- detailed information and BE CAREFUL: operations that would normally

-- confirmation from the user (such as deleting notes, etc) are

-- completed without warning when invoked from AppleScript!
