The document above is strictly for writing assistive applications, not for
making your application accessible. Keep the distinction in mind; it is
fundamental.

The document above is the basic document. That and the headers is about all
you can get for Panther. Other things to look at, however:
The Cocoa NSAccessibility informal protocol. It contains information that
may help you even if you aren't writing a Cocoa app. There are actually two
documents:
/Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/accessibility/index.html and
/Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/ObjC_classic/Protoco
ls/NSAccessibility.html.
I haven't had occasion to look for the Carbon HI accessibility docs.
Also, download the latest Tiger seed (hey, it's only 2 gigabytes), or look
at the Tiger CD they sent to ADC members a few weeks ago. There are new and
revised accessibility docs that undoubtedly have relevance for Panther, too
-- but don't stop searching for them when you think you've found them all;
some of them are hidden in pretty obscure places.
By the way, if you find cases where UI Browser is giving you less
information than UI Element Inspector, tell me about it. It shouldn't
happen.
