Thanks for the reply Bill.
I presume you are referring to the OSAScript class.
Do you know if it is thread safe, unlike NSAppleScript?
This is where the lack of documentation really kicks in.
Bucketloads of time can be wasted pursuing the unachievable.
My app needs to run concurrent scripts.
At present I am firing them off into separate tasks wrapped around
NSAppleScript.
If I could run each script via OSAScript in a separate thread it would
be a big fast plus.
I know that Nathan Day's NDAppleScriptObject claims to offer thread
safe script execution but I have not investigated it yet.

I use another class in OSAKit, instead of NSAppleScript, to run
scripts in
my applications, because OSAKit (which has an API that overlaps
NSAppleScript) was fixed quite some time ago to properly save
persistent
properties in scripts. NSAppleScript has never done that properly.
An Apple
engineer advised me over a year ago that OSAKit is perfectly usable. I
understand that at least some parts of it are used by Automator, and
maybe
even by Script Editor.
I've been after Apple to document this for a year or two, without
visible
results.
