Starting with 2:
When you script an application, AS reads the app's dictionary so it knows
the terminology: the names of classes, commands, properties and
enumerations. But Cocoa is not an application, and it doesn't have an AS
dictionary. However, its terminology -- the class names and enums like
NSAlternateKeyMask -- is added to AppleScriptObjC applications in the form
of properties of the application. So if you want to refer to a class, or use
an enum, you precede it with "current application's ".
NSAlternateKeyMask is an enum, like an AppleScript enumeration. (In the next
line, NSEvent is a Cocoa class, and modifierFlags() is an NSEvent method.)
There is no separate documentation, other than what you see if you search in
Xcode Help or Apple's developer documentation online.
