Depending what the next line was, it was a call to either an xml-rpc or a
SOAP server. You send your questions and you get your answers immediately,
if you're online. The 'using terms from' here allows you to compile the
commands, including the specific parameters needed by that server, without
turning them into user variables. When connected the server will process the
commands, including the parameters, as it needs to.
There were some release notes last fall, probably for AppleScript 1.8 - may
have been 1.6. They're still up on the AS website, and I think there's a
link to them from Applescript SourceBook.
