That's a great idea. It's occurred to me too, but I had not come up with
your workaround for a stand-in Studio app in the meantime. That's excellent
too, for now. It would be really great to be able to access 'call method' as
a scripting addition for all methods of existing Cocoa (AppKit and
Foundation) classes from any AppleScript.
