To be fair, those of us who are partly professional Unix scripters 
should stand aside from such a contest.  My example was just intended 
to lead those new to scripting on a bit.  The bulk of it is just 
boilerplate from my standard script skeleton - nothing special.  This 
is my first venture into using AppleScript calls though.
