thanks. sorry our messages crossed. i get the list as a digest. the
reason i was asking is that i've been involved in developments of
similar tools in the past on other platforms and the key is the
availability of actions. if anyone can harness the existing
scripting support of an app automator will be lot more useful than if
the application vendor, or some C++ guru, have to build actions that
support a given application.
sounds like Apple has made it easy to build actions so that's really good news.

i'm wondering if anyone knows if you can write actions for Automator
with AppleScript? As i understand it the actions send applevents to
the apps so i'd think tells would work but does anyone know? thanks.
As previously mentioned, I was lucky enough to see Sal in action
demonstrating Automator to a few people at Macworld.
As I understand it, each action is an Xcode project and Automator action
will be a standard project type. So if you can't do what you want with
standard actions - and it looks like there will be a LOT of them available -
then you use Xcode to create a new action and you code your Xcode project in
whatever language or combination of languages you want, including
Applescript.
I do not have Tiger beta, I'm only relaying what I gathered from a short but
VERY impressive public demo.
