Copy and paste this script into a new document in AppleScript Editor.
When saving, select "Script Bundle" as File Type.
Save the file to: "~/Library/Script Libraries/Access NSScreen.scptd"
Note: you may need to create the directory: "~/Library/Script Libraries"
Note: while this gist has the file ending "scpt", by selecting the
"Script Bundle" file type, the file extension "scptd" should be added.
