AppleScript for Sending Email with Apple Mail
This is a very straightforward script to send data to Apple’s Mail application. There isn’t really anything difficult here. It should suffice to note here the AppleScript terms and expressions used here that are unique to the Mail application. You’ll often find that an application has, along with the standard terms that are used by all applications, some that are specific to the application and therefore must be enclosed in a tell block that directs them to the app you’re using.
set theRecipient to text returned of (display dialog "Enter recipient:" with icon note default answer "yourEmail@domain.com" buttons {"Cancel","OK"} default button {"OK"})
set theSubject to text returned of (display dialog "Enter subject of email:" with icon note default answer "Re: New Subject"
buttons {"Cancel","OK"} default button {"OK"})
set emailText to text returned of (display dialog "Enter your email message here:" with icon note default answer "This is the text of your email message"
buttons {"Cancel","Send"} default button {"Send"})
tell application "Mail"
activate
set theMessage to make new outgoing message
tell theMessage
set the subject to theSubject
set the content to emailText
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:theRecipient}
end tell
save theMessage
end tell
The statement: ‘set theMessage to make new outgoing message’ sets things up so that the following commands in the tell block can be directed to the variable theMessage as an object.
The next two statements set the values of the subject and content fields to the variables ‘theSubject’ and ‘emailText’ respectively.
Next, the value of the Mail property ‘address’ is set to the value of the variable ‘theRecipient’.
Finally, the save command is directed to the Mail application, since it cannot be handled by ‘theMessage’ as it is, in effect a document.

  iPhoto 6 Create Multiple Folders with Terminal
If you are more of a techy kind of person and are comfortable with using Terminal, here is a script you can use to easily create multiple folders:
First, for a single folder, type in: mkdir "Folder 1"
--or whatever you want to name your folder, this creates a new directory, which, in effect is a new folder.
To place multiple items in the 'Documents' folder:
cd/Users/
Administrator/
Documents
mkdir "Folder 1" "Folder 2"
"Folder 3"
To quickly create multiple folders, create a text file with the desired folder names (as many as you want) and name it something like 'folderList.txt'. Next type this in Terminal:
cat folderList.txt |xargs mkdir
Or you could create folders with the same prefix by entering:
mkdir "Invoices " {"Corporate", "Individual", "Pro-Bono"}

HyperCard AppleScript Users:
Heres an AppleScript for backing up a selected group of HyperCard files. this was used in one of my HyperCard stacks, but could be adapted for use in OSX programs with little or no modification:
send "suiteBkp(true)" to bg btn "BackupSuite"
--Use this line to call the handler below (true displays a notification dialog when the process is complete, you must have a button named bg btn "BackupSuite"):
on suiteBkp(theBoolean)
copy line 1 of field "selectedFolder" to theHFFolderPath --You'll need a hidden field named "selectedFolder" that a script (prior to the call) will place the path to the desired folder in.
tell application "Finder"

 Macintosh Plus (late 1984), followed close behind the Mac 512k
 The classic Apple IIc (1981), part of a series of Apple computers that preceded the debut of the Macintosh HyperCard Users Corner:
Here's a simple, but very useful little HyperTalk script for verifying the validity of a date entered by a user, assuming that you have a menu item "flag date..." (or whatever you choose to name it) or it could be altered slightly and placed within a mouseUp statement:
if menuItem = "Flag Date..." then
global tryDate
ask "Enter a date for your new appointment:" with the long date
if it ≠ "" and the result ≠ "Cancel" then
put it into tryDate
else
put "" into tryDate
exit doMenu
end if
if invalidDate() then
answer "The date entered is not valid!"
put "" into tryDate
exit doMenu
end if
--Here you would put the statements to execute if the entered date proves to be valid
put "" into tryDate
end if
function invalidDate
global tryDate
convert tryDate to short date
if the result = "invalid date" then
return true
else
return false
end if
end invalidDate
