Hi Tetsuro,
Do you mean osaxen receiving AppleEvent descriptors like 'object' and 'object specifier'?
> There is a reason why both of ModuleLoader and AppleMods load modules through a script object. This mechanism causes complex syntax to load modules.
Yes, and I think, like Takaaki and Ed, that this is one of the reasons that library loaders are not often used. So we have to fix it.

I can provide language support if needed. But first I will try some osax tricks because they could be easier.
I will contact you when I start to implement it (in about 2 weeks) so it can fit well with what you are doing.
An update of ModuleManager.framework to 0.5.1 is now here: <http://www.vcn.bc.ca/~philip/mm/ModuleManager.html>.
The download link is near the top of the page.
