Yeah, Wil... AppleEvents got really screwed up in the 2.7.x builds: in 2.7.2
they were backwards ("aevtoapp" became "tveappao"); in 2.7.3 they were
unusable (as you've found out). This was finally fixed in 2.7.4.

So the bottom line is, upgrade to 2.7.4 to get the AppleEvents back that you
know and love.
