Droplets and AppleEvents

[Dave]

Hi Jim,

Ok, that's a good idea. What I would like is to be able to have just  
one place that handles AppleEvents, I can ship the commands off to  
wherever they are needed myself (I already have the mechanism for  
this). How can I use "backScript" I've never used it before and not  
really sure how I would go about setting this up.

Many Thanks
All the Best
Dave
