there are a host of AppleScript features which you don't have direct access to
via NSAppleScript

Really? Since NSAppleScript simply compiles (if necessary) and executes the
very same AppleScript code you might run in (say) the Script Editor, and
since AppleScript is a way of constructing and sending Apple events, I'm
hard pressed to imagine to what you might be referring. Well, I can think of
some things you *might* be referring to, but they have nothing to do with
the problem you're describing. Still, I'd sure be interested in an example
of what you mean. m.

Well, for instance, AESendMessage has an "AESendMode" parameter that looks useful on the surface—from reading the docs, it looks like I can ask AppleEvents to queue up any replies instead of blocking until the reply comes in. I don't know how one would do this with an NSAppleScript.


Again, I'm no expert here, so I could be barking up the wrong tree, but it certainly looks like AExxx APIs offer more flexibility than NSAppleScript.
