Rookie AppleScripting: Moving Rows Around

[Scott Bates]

Hello everybody,

I've tried to do this myself, I really have.

One thing that I would like to see is a brief doc on AppleScripting using 
OO3; I'm new to Macs/AppleScript/OO3 and really can't figure it out (I've 
gotten a hold of The Missing Manual and taken a look at the very good 
www.applescriptsourcebook.com).

I would like to do what feels like a simple thing. Here's the simplified 
verison--given this outline:

* Here's the Header #1
     * Here's my list of things!
           * here's thing 1
           * here's thing 2
           * here's thing 3
* Here's the Header #2
     * Here's my list of things!
           * here's thing 4
           * here's thing 5
           * here's thing 6

I would like to see this:

* Here's the Header #1
     * here's thing 1
     * here's thing 2
     * here's thing 3
* Here's the Header #2
     * here's thing 4
     * here's thing 5
     * here's thing 6

In short, I'm either (a) outdenting the level three rows to level two and 
deleting the in-between, ro (b) I'm MOVEing the level three rows up a level 
and deleting the in-between. Simple, I know, but I've not accomplished after 
an amount time trying that I'm afraid to speak aloud!

Thanks for any help.

Scott
