or messages. So what I want to do under OS X is write my own app
that periodically will force this app to save its document by
calling the same handler as what the Save menu command would call.
Again, I do realize that "bad things may happen", but for this app
we are using its worth trying for me.
Typically you'd do this by issuing an AppleScript command, which you
can do with the NSAppleScript class. Something like "tell application
MyApp to save document in front of documents" ought to work if the
hypothetical MyApp is an NSDocument-based application.
