About InputManager and third-party applications

Subject: About InputManager and third-party applications

Hello folks,

A project that I inherited uses the NSInputManager API to load applescript terminology into several well-known applications. I've read up a little bit on the old API and have also followed the recent discussion of the new InputMethodKit. I'm a little curious about the original intended use of NSInputManager. Obviously, it's an insecure method of manipulating an application. On the other hand, at the time, the previous engineer apparently thought it was a feasible way to add functionality/communication between applications. Is the use of the API in such a fashion considered inappropriate? Would it be an in/ appropriate use of the new API? (I'm going to ask specifically about applescript augmentation on the implementors list, but thought folks here might have some history or knowledge about using InputManagers to get such a result)

thanks for any info,

Jaime
