This will quit correctly if I use this ...

on run

try

if checkModifier_(me) then -- "option" key is down

display dialog "Option key down"

else

display dialog "Option key up"

end if

end try

quit

end run

And a question about this ...

on checkModifier_(sender)
set theMask to current application's NSAlternateKeyMask as integer
set theFlag to current application's NSEvent's modifierFlags() as integer
return ((theFlag div theMask) mod 2) as boolean
end checkModifier_

I've looked everywhere I know to look, and can find no documentation on:

1. NSAlternateKeyMask and

2. current application

Where else should I look?
