NOTES

A scripting component is a software component, such as AppleScript, that supports the Open Scripting Architecture (OSA). The OSA provides a mechanism, based on Apple events, that allows users to control multiple applications by means of scripts written in a variety of scripting languages. Each scripting language corresponds to a single scripting component. A single scripting language may include several dialects.
