- Apple has defined the scripting protocol and told the developers how it will

- you'll have to wait for it since the applications have to be modified to
- support scripting. If we had scripting in the system right now, we could
- probably only use it to play with the Finder. The important thing is that
- Apple has defined scripting so that software developers can start modifying
- their applications.
