Recordable applications are not yet directly supported by the
Cocoa. You can still make a Cocoa application recordable, but
you need to do so using Carbon calls, since you still can't send
Apple Events using the Cocoa implementation. However, I think
you can still rely on Cocoa's event handlers to actually handle
the Apple Events; you just need to set up recording and create
the Apple Events to send to yourself. Needless to say, there is
no sample code out that demonstrates this in action.

but don't understand the overall architecture of a recordable Mac OS X
application. For example, where do you tell the NSAppleEventManager to
register your event handler?
I am familiar with the way to create recordable applications in
Mac OS 9:
the application sends AppleEvents to itself, the application's
registered
event handler gets the event, then calls the appropriate routine.
Is there a sample application that demonstrates how a Mac OS X
Apple Event
aware application is put together?
