Fairly pointless: the point of OSAscript is to use AppleScript snippets from other languages. If you are already in AppleScript, then you don't really need this. My BBEdit-TeX integration scripts start with a series of AppleScripts, that then call a shell script to do the actual work. Some parts are completely performed in AppleScript, but I don't like the vagueness of its syntax. > Harold, who can't decide whether asking about the reentrancy of a text > editor makes this conversation awesome or overly nerdy If this results in getting AppleEvents for BBEdit in other languages (Python, Ruby), then I vote for awesome.
