when you send a command to a remote application do you use the
application name or the process name in the tell?

It's the process name, which can be different than the file name for a bundled application. We'd like to correct this, since it's difficult to determine the process name in some cases, but there isn't any API to do so currently.

By "difficult", do you mean impossible? I would like to do something about this problem in my Mac Remote Control application: <http://www.roydesign.net/macremotecontrol>. One way might be to go and look in the Info.plist file of the application bundle. Or is there a slightly easier way, as with 'do shell script' or something?
