Wouldn’t it be great for newbies to have a tab in the object

You can see all the properties of any object in the dictionary:
1. Select the object in left-hand column.
2. Click the "Type" header in the keyword list. That sorts the list by
type, and all the properties will be displayed together.
As an aside, if you want to see information that isn't already shown,
look in Preferences in the Documentation pane. You can set the types of
information you want to display in the dictionary. There are more
choices than just the defaults.
If I do:
put the properties of scrollbar “axisEntry"
I don’t get anything in the message box. LC7.0 rC2, Mavericks.
That's because the properties are an array, which can't be displayed in
the message box. You can write a little handler that lets you see them
in the debugger though (which is my usual shortcut when I need to see
something temporarily):
on showProperties pObj
get the properties of pObj
breakpoint
end showProperties
Call it like this: showProperties the long name of scrollbar 1
Or revise it to combine the array and put the resulting text into a
field somewhere.
