Hi all,
I'm trying to do things with other apps and I think that the most
useful thing I can get to manipulate another app would be its
NSApplication instance. So, I tried this:

So with that info I should be able to get TextEdit's NSApplication
instance. The only question is: how do I do it?
Many thanks, Alan
Think about it... if there was a public API allowing an application
to freely access another application's shared NSApplication instance,
it would be extremely easy for a malicious person to create all kinds
of havoc in the user's system. Just as an example, recall that the
NSApplication's instance is responsible for maintaining the
application's event loop and for managing the application's
resources. Imagine what I could do to someone else's application if I
had programatic access to its event loop or to its nib files and
other resources.
