Is it possible to write an OSAX using Project Builder? I'd love to be
able to make my own, but alas I don't have the money to pay for a copy

what's the closest thing? Can I make something like URL Access
Scripting that launches quickly and invisibly in the background?
Sure. See <

general instructions, and there's sample code in my iDisk

(I'm working on getting it integrated into the tech note.)
You could make a faceless background application, too -- depending on
what you've got in mind, that might be the appropriate choice.
Scripting additions can only define commands, not objects, so if you
want an object model, you have to make an application. For simple
commands, though, a scripting addition is perfectly adequate.
Further questions on this sort of thing are better directed to
