It will even name your script based on the specific parameters that you answered!
The following examples are included:Place Windows - Create an AppleScript that will automatically snap up to three windows into place for the application and window positions that you choose. Copy Files - Create an AppleScript that will copy files to the destination of your choice. The Open File Dialog Box will be configured to start in the folder of your choice.

Too bad.
I guess the developer does not want to make money.
He could program a version that has a limited number startups.

1. When I try to view it in the App Store, it says it's not available in the U.S. store.
2. And even if it were, am I really, truly supposed to fork out $25 up front without being able to test this? Seriously? Based on what I saw of the interface, I can probably find these kinds of scripts for free with a minimum of Google searching. And I've found many a developer out there who has taken a few moments of their time to help me write simple scripts for free. I'd rather give $25 in donations to those guys.

2. Magic Script Creator is on sale till May 9th for $9.99. Googling for AppleScripts is not the same thing as my program. This application creates customs scripts on the fly based on user interaction. It takes an enormous amount of work to accomplish this. I plan on adding more examples over time, all part of free updates. I believe $25 is a fair price for this unique software.
