Richard 23 added:
Calling an application attachable merely because it adds a scripts menu
seems to me like calling an application scriptable because it implements
"do script" or "do menu". I thought attachable meant that one could
attach
scripts to application objects <-- (plural!) not just to the scripts menu.
