Applescriptable RR app?

[Ken Ray]

Yes you can, Graham. The app you build with RR will automatically come with
a dictionary that includes support for "do script" and "evaluate", but you
can add your own commands, etc. by adding in an 'aete' resource (in OS 9,
I'm not sure how to do it in OS X) that will send specific apple events to
your app which you can trap in an "on appleEvent" handler.

If someone can tell me how to do it in OS X, I'll wrap up a set of
instructions on how to do this...
