One option if you're communicating heavily with one particular object, and
don't want to use explicit tell blocks all the time, is to take that object
as the parent property for your script [object]:

property parent application : "Microsoft Entourage"

Holy code! Has suggests using the parent property!

[Though I wouldn't really recommend folk use this unless they've already
got a good idea of how inheritance and scope work, otherwise it's real easy
to tie yourself in knots.]

nevermind.


The use of 'object' there might be a bit broad. Applications only need apply.
