So, that leaves me wondering - what's a Spot?  I looked in the dictionary
and it said :
Class Spot: A Spot
Properties:
	Class  'cnum'  -- The class
So I looked in the dictionary for A Spot, and it said:
Class Spot: A Spot
Properties:
	Class  'cnum'  -- The class

"lather, rinse, repeat" indeed.

It appears from the script being presented that he means an insertion
point, or something like it.  It seems also from the dictionary that one
could write qq{ set Line 1 of document 1 to "#!/usr/bin/perl"}.

And I suspect that a number of frequenters of the AppleScript implementer's
list might have opinions about "Spot" as a class name.
