Yeah, rotten. These AppleEvent Calls?? might be very popular. Maybe we
should adopt a standard of [Opt \] [Opt Shift \]or even « »
which is the HTML code for Left/Right Angle Quotes
This is the equivalent problem of the ¬ (not sign) [opt L] used is
wrapping long script lines.
It IS confusing!

and we just have to put up with it. Lousy, isn't it?
