"using terms from" is often used to wrap a handler defined in an
application's dictionary as something that the application will call in
your script. In other words, when you say:
on perform mail action with messages theMess for rule theRule
wrapping it in 'using terms from application "Mail.app "' tells
AppleScript where to look to find out what you are talking about, or
how to compile the handler definition. (That is, look in Mail.app's
dictionary.)
Talking to remote applications is the other use for using terms from,
but not the one that is relevant here.

hi,
i am just learning how to scripting Mail. it has many example scripts
at the menu. but i do not know, why is it so important to use using
terms from in the scripts. what is the function of using terms from? i
read at macwarriors that if i deal with a remote app scripting, it
uses a dictionary from the local app, instead of the remote, but at
this case i do not feel sense.
another question, where can i find a newer language guide, than apple
has posted, version 1.3.7
thanks a lot!
