Thank you! You might want to add this to an appendix of your book some time.

Just for clarification:
This AS handler would then live in a .applescript file in my project wrapped in
script ASClassInstance

And on of the above calls would live in a .m file containing
#import <AppleScriptObjC/AppleScriptObjC.h> //no need to put this in main.m, I
guess
in a project with the AppleScriptObjC linked in.
Is this correct? Does this require any special build settings?
Thanks!
