Explanation of this sample

You are welcome to distribute this AppleEvent handling sample freely, but must keep the package intact.

Note that the event code «event abcd1234» represents a Class of "abcd" and an ID of "1234".  You can use any two combinations of four characters as long as they don't already exist, in which case, your codes will compile into the terminology belonging to those codes, and thus conflict.

The parameter {x, y, z} is the direct parameter. In this case, it is a simple list, but can be just about anything. You can add more parameters with their own classes, but that's not covered in this simple example.
