Set aside your IM, AE Registry, and tech notes for the moment. Starting fresh, let's review the bare essentials you need to start making your app scriptable. Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible, so let's ignore the rampant excesses of the AppleScript spec for now. We will introduce scripting with a simplified explanation of the concepts, and follow this up with implementation of a minimal, but very useful initial set of scripting functions. As an added bonus, we'll consider how to design your implementation for accessibility from BASIC as well as AppleScript.
