Thanks. Also, just to clarify, my book doesn't cover developing for Automator. It's a Visual QuickStart Guide, so it covers using Automator. AppleScriptObjC would be an entire book itself, and I've yet to tackle that project. ;-) There are some tutorials popping up, though, for anyone who may be interested, such as...
