I've got a running question on StackOverflow, but Applescript support
there is somewhat lacking. If you're on there at all, and / or want a
nicer display: http://is.gd/8F0yW

So, a re-post:

In an attempt to export my data, I've been poking around with
AppleScript, learning the language, etc, and currently have this:
--------------------------------
tell application "Yojimbo"
repeat with EachNote in (note items in library)
display dialog (content of EachNote) as string
end repeat
end tell
--------------------------------

What's confusing me is that, though the class in the Applescript
dictionary defines the property "contents", I have to use "content" to
retrieve the contents. Using "contents" results in this error:
--------------------------------
Can’t make «class YNot» id "A0C9E19E-3106-44F9-97A6-A1A74AD77948"
of application "Yojimbo" into type string.
--------------------------------

I'm assuming the "syn content" means it's a synonym, thus I should be
able to use "content" and "contents" interchangeably. But apparently
the synonym works, but the original does not...?

Also, more simply, why do the contents have to be coerced into a
string? If I look at the properties on the object (via: (properties of
EachNote) as string ), "contents" is a double-quoted string, though I
realize this isn't necessarily "proof" that it's a string.

I'm still starting with AppleScript, so if I'm making a n00bish
mistake, feel free to slap.
