to make room (the two command lines basically switch positions).

line down one location. The command line already at that location moves up one
location (the two command lines basically switch positions).

Move To Top: Clicking the Move To Top button moves the currently selected command

line to the top of the list, making it the first command line executed. All command lines
that were above it in the list ripple down (the command line that was at the top is
moved to the number 2 position, the number 2 command line moves to number 3,
and so on).

Move To Bottom: Clicking the Move To Bottom button moves the currently selected

command line to the bottom of the list, making it the last command line executed. All
command lines that were below it in the list ripple up.

Copying Command Lines

When creating a script with multiple similar command lines, you may find it easier to
create the first version of the command line, copy that command line multiple times,
then modify the copies as needed. You can also copy a command line from one script to
another.

To copy command lines in the Script Editor

1

Select the command line to be copied.

You can select more than one command line.

2

Choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C).

This copies the command lines to the Clipboard. The selected command lines are not
affected.
