That's too bad.
I looked into Apple Events and they look very complicated and not
very
coder-freindly. Are there Cocoa wrappers for creating an Apple Event?
I did some quick searches on Google but didn't find anything.
Apple Events are several levels higher than anything the Dock is
involved
with. Many common applications don't respond to Apple Events at all.
Technically, there are basic events like "open", "reopen" and "quit"
that almost every app will respond to. But in the sense of true
scripting, yes, there are apps which don't support it.
The best Cocoa wrapper is NSAppleScript which is very high level and
has some nasty issues that are hard to work around.
