Where will that be documented? Will plain AppleScript suffice or
will it need AS Studio?
Enquiring minds and all that...
In developer documentation, eventually, but for the moment, read
<http://developer.apple.com/macosx/tiger/automator.html>.
Technically, all actions use at least some Studio, but it may be done
for you. There are two things you, as an action writer, have to deal
with: getting the action's work done, and handling the action's UI.
If your action interface is essentially fill-in-the-blanks (or
checkboxes, or whatnot), then you can set up all the parameter
bindings in Interface Builder, and you don't have to write any code
at all for the UI side, Studio or otherwise. If you need some custom
behavior (interdependent controls, for instance), then you'll need to
write Studio code to deal with that.
