Wait a second. How were people talking about applescript back in 1989?
Only folks discussing it on the drawing table? Or was it actually
available? I thought it was only released with 7.5 in 93 or so?
Apple events were only available with system 7 in late 90. I don't see
how OSA and AS could have existed before a system that supported Apple
events. And I don't remember hearing anything about Copland until '92
or so, post Sys. 7.
Was I just out of the loop?
