Apple Events

AppleScript and scriptable programs communicate with each other via Apple events or internal, invisible messages. This section provides an overview of how Apple events are implemented with AppleScript. As this information goes beyond basic script development, some readers may choose to jump ahead to the book’s language-reference sections, do some scripting, and then revisit this section at another time.
