I wrote my custom handler like so:

- (void)handleAppleEvent:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)event
withReplyEvent:(NSAppleEventDescriptor *)replyEvent;

documented here:
"http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/
ObjC_classic/Classes/NSAppleEventManager.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/
20000475/BCIBGJIH"

I put some NSLogs inside it and it is getting called and doing
everything it's supposed to, I just don't know how to return the
results of what it does.

Will look at [NSScriptCommand currentCommand] again though.
