Entity Deivy Petrescu spoke thus:

> Happy remote scripting to all of you.

Yeah, it works better than it used to but is still fraught with surprises.

For example, the snag I was working on looks like this in a working script:


ignoring application responses
tell application "Entourage" of machine "eppc://Gnarlodious-Cube.local"
to quit
end ignoring

tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://Gnarlodious-Cube.local" to
exists process "Microsoft Entourage"


In other words, telling Entourage to quit is a simple matter of telling
Entourage the quit, but telling Finder to do the job requires naming
Microsoft.

To extend this terminology to its logical extreme:

tell entity "Bill Gates" to tell entity "Microsoft" to tell application
"Finder" of machine "eppc://Gnarlodious-Cube.local" to quit process
"Entourage"
