gaining control

Is there a way to tell what an application is doing?

Here's my situation.

This is all done under a script.

I'm using Eudora to send a Stuffit archive as an attachment.
I then tell Eudora to quit and I rename the files that were sent.

Prior to version 6 of Eudora, the script was held up while Eudora finished
sending before it proceeded. Under version 6, a dialog comes up
from Eudora because the send is going on and I'm telling Eudora to quit.
(Yea for multi-tasking - boo for complete control :)

I would like to detect when the send is finished before issuing the
quit command in order to control this.

Anyone have any suggestions?

On a different note - is there any documentation on the
"System Events" program in the Utilities directory and how (and why)
to script it?

I've done a search on Apple's site, but didn't find any explanations there.

TIA Jim
