Only eight lines cut...

Is this really what we can look forward to as the future of AS interaction?
You've got to be kidding me that all that 'telling' is worth scripting.

It seems to make more sense for Apple to buy KeyQuencer -- a stable,
well-versed and simple macro language -- and turn _that_ into this so called
"system events".

I've only found a few non-standard applications that resist KQ's rapid,
shortly written and minute access. And I very rarely have to use more than
10 lines of code.

I am very glad that I do not have to worry with this kind of future -- yet.
