Assuming you're talking about how to write your own scripting addition,
which involves actual compiled code, the reason you didn't see it
covered in the archives is that applescript-users is the wrong list --
you should try applescript-implementors.
Most of the information you'll need is in Tech Note 1164

there's also a skeleton scripting addition project in the AppleScript
SDK.
