Using MiniAEFrame you can build a script that responds to specific 
appleevents, which you can call directly from ScriptEditor/AppleScript 
using that weird direct-event-calling syntax. Documented here:

     AppleScriptScripters/AppleScriptLangGuide/AppleScript.60.html#33963
(URL should be 1 line)

If you add nicely defined aete resources, you can write the higher level 
applescript language that you can use in ScriptEditor/AppleScript. The 
only editor for aete resources I've found it Resorcerer, costs something 
but is worth it.

Hope this helps,
