The Open Scripting Architecture (OSA)
provides a standard mechanism that allows users to control multiple applications
with scripts written in a variety of scripting languages. The OSA consists
of the Apple Event Manager, which allows applications to respond to Apple
events sent by scripting components, and a set of scripting component
data structures, functions, and resources that allow applications to interact
with scripting components.
Each scripting language has a corresponding
scripting component. The AppleScript component implements AppleScript,
the standard user scripting language defined by Apple Computer.
