This is what the Scripter's Scrapbook uses in  the IAC for third party 
add-ons and has the benefit of being inter-operably  cross-platform. Build in a 
'watched folder' with a polling timer and you're good  to go.

You can also use files, maybe something  like this.  The sender, A,  
can write a file "tempAToB", wait  until there is no "AToB" and then  
rename "tempAToB" to "AToB".   The receiver, B, might look for the new  
"AToB", read it, and delete  it.  For very short messages, just rename  
the file and look for  changes.  You can also use multiple files as a  
queue in  alphabetical order.
