I think it can mean anything you want it to. The point is presumably that if
you want 3rd-party programmers to be able to write Automator actions that
talk to your app, you need to tell them what "talk to" means. If you are
scriptable with AppleScript, the dictionary answers that question, but
otherwise the matter is wide open. It could involve distributed
objects/notifications, for example. m.
