+For anything more complex, you will be working with '''the list and selections within it'''
+* [https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/manual/_selectObject_.html selectObject] change selection, by ID or name
+* [https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/manual/_plusObject_.html plusObject] add to current selection, by ID or name
+* [https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/manual/_minusObject_.html minusOject] removes from current selection, by ID or name
+* [https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/manual/_removeObject_.html removeObject] removes objects from list
+:: if in the selection, removes that; does not otherwise affect the selection
+* selected$() is a function that returns the '''name''' of objects within the selection
+** selected$()
+** selected$(num)
+** selected$(type$)
+** selected$(type$, num)
+* selected() is a function that returns the '''ID''' of objects within the selection
+** selected() - return ID of the topmost selected object
+** selected(number) - return ID of so-manieth item (from the bottom if negative)
+** selected (type$) - return ID of first selected object of the type
+** selected (type$, i) - return ID of so-manieth selected object of the type
+An object has a full name and a given name, e.g. when you start fresh and create a recording, then
+ writeInfoLine ()
+ appendInfoLine( selected$() )
+ appendInfoLine( selected$("Sound") )
+will print
+ Sound untitled
+ untitled
+The first is a full name, the second a given name. You could split those out like:.
+ fullName$ = selected$()
+ type$ = extractWord$ (fullName$, "")
+ name$ = extractLine$ (fullName$, " ")
+ appendInfoLine( type$ )
+ appendInfoLine( name$ )
+Which would give:
+ Sound
+ untitled
+* [ select all
+* [ Remove

+'''scripts look like wording, but you won't understand why it works until you figure out the predefined things it's referencing'''
+Consider:
+ Create Strings as file list: "*.wav"
+ num_files = Get number of strings
+ for i from 1 to num_files
+   selectObject: "Strings files"
+   filename$ = Get string: i
+   basename$ = filename$ - ".wav"
+   Read from file: dir$ + basename$ + ".wav"
+ endfor
+Why does "Get number of files" or "Get String" work?
+'''Get is a little magical'''
+Create Strings as file list... list 'source_directory$'/'file_name_or_initial_substring$'*'file_extension$'
+head_words = selected("Strings")
+Drawing
+ Erase all
+ Draw inner box

+form presens a form

+There are various libraries that interact with praat's files, and make have python initiate praat running praat scripts
+For example, praatio allows:
