New to Finale Scripts and struggling.
I wish to change the eighth note flags to make them shorter in all my hundreds of documents. This involves changing the Flag Characters in Document Options: First Downstem Flag from 74 to 239, and First Upstem Flag from 106 to 145. I would like to automatize this task.
The Script that I have written so far (shown below) takes me to Doc Options, then to Flags, but I can't get to the Flag Character selection. Any ideas on how to advance in this Script ?
 
doc opts
select item from list "Flags"
                                                                   (and now I can't get any further)
 
There doesn't seem to be any standard information out there about the different commands and syntax. I have found a huge variety of different instructions and after several hours of investigation, I'm basically no further forward. Are there any good, simple guide/tutorials out there that I haven't found (I've done Google searches, YouTube etc) that take you through it from the beginning? The Facebook group has not responded to this same request. THANKS ! (Finale 27 with Windows 11)

Thanks Mike. I hadn't realised that clicking on the entries revealed the scripts. That is exactly what I need. Brilliant !
