So that Gnarlie (who asked the question in the first place) will know how to
populate her default list for when the user's .plist is empty of AppleScript
formatting entries. It may not be the only way of doing things - I guess she
can just figure it out from the UI for AS Format prefs - but it would have
been quicker to just fetch them from somewhere, if available. I had wondered
whether maybe you knew where this was in order to write your own "AS format"
commands in Smile. Since I asked you, Chris N. has replied that "Hopefully,
Smile is using the API to get the styles, so it doesn't have to know where
they're stored." If that's correct, what API is he referring to? Chris's
other statement that the defaults are currently "hardcoded" (presumably in
the AppleScript.component somewhere) would mean they'd be inaccessible to
ordinary users and scripters. These APIs would be Carbon routines to get
inside the component?
