I have made custom changes to the Adobe SDK automation MakeNew plug-in

This question is better asked on the AppleScript IMPLEMENTORS
list, since its where the programmers hang out, or on a Photoshop
development list. However, since I'm here, I'll answer ;).
The plug-in is recordable
(through Actions palette) and is supposedly scriptable, but I can't seem to
figure out the correct syntax for (1) setting the field, and (2) initiating
the plug-in without using a Photoshop action.
If it works just fine from Actions, then you've done
everything that you can do with Photoshop all by itself. Anything
else would require a plug-in like Photoscripter, which exports
Photoshop's internal scripting capabilities to AppleScript.
How do I "talk" directly to a Photoshop plug-in from Applescript? Do I do
something like this:
You don't - at least not without Photoscripter.
