It predates AppleScript (at least the official release of
AppleScript: I don't remember whether it predated the stealth
release in the spring of release year). I joined after Frontier was
released...I don't know how long after, or how close in time I was to
the beginning. I think I remember getting a count in the low 400s
when I first learned to ask LISTSERV for that. It was Dartmouth then.
I didn't get involved with Userland's System 6 form of IAC. That
*could* have been the list's trigger.
Fred--if not the founder--was very early on the scene.
