Chirs Nebel very tactfully notifies me privately that:
------------------------- untested
tell application "SurfWriter"
get 1+1
end tell
-------------------------
won't send any event to the app, since AppleScript understands directly
"1+1", so it does not test for the busy state.
To test whether the app is busy, Chris advises to send some event any app
should support, and he quotes "get name" and "get version" as examples of
such.
Eudora Light supports "version" and does not support "name".
