scriptingLanguage

set [the] scriptingLanguage ¬      [of object ] to languageName

The scriptingLanguage property sets or retrieves the scripting system of the object or (when you don't use of object ) of the message box.

LanguageName must be present in the computer's system resources.

The message box and each individual object can all respond to different scripting systems.

You can also set the scriptingLanguage property for an object by choosing from the Scripting Language pop-up menu at the top of each object's script editor window.

The default languageName is HyperTalk.
