Dear Greg
if you'd use ScriptDebugger 2 you should have a look onto the "Scripts"
folder's Scripts or even record some actions in SD2 itself. (This works well
with the demo too). Furthermore SD2 allows you to view AppleEvents as "raw
events", that is what you are talking about, instead of AppleScript syntax
so it's more easy to find the raw events' words and syntax.
I do not know exactly if this helps in scripting nonscriptable applications.
