AppleScript developers should explore scriptable applications as possible
solutions to their programming problems. I know a few of the scripting
additions I have written in the past, for instance, are good candidates for
scriptable applications.

Yeah. I can see that. I particulary llke the better control of
terminolgy offered by scriptable faceless background applicatons.
Until the AS Eng. team comes up with a "using module" mechanism,
that's going to seem a very compelling advantage to me.
Thanks,
Neal.
Well, in a note against the practicality of FBAs (not the theory of
using them, but what actually can happen): I've had some problems
with URL Access Scripting (which isn't FBA, but similar problems may
occur with FBAs) and other apps not launching or freezing when they
are called repetitively. Also, I would guess that FBAs are more
likely to crash and cause other problems related to memory and/or
extremely long tasks than are extensions to AppleScript itself.
