Hi all,

New, preview-ish version of appscript (0.6.0) now posted at:

<http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/appscript.html>

Feel free to kick the wheels. :)

This is a ground-up rewrite, implementing appscript as a wrapper 
round the lower-level aem package. It lacks the automatic reference 
validation of previous versions (this could be provided as an 
optional extension) so won't catch user errors like badly-formed 
references. OTOH, it's much more forgiving of buggy application 
terminology resources (a common problem). References also lack 
built-in help() methods at this point, though could add them in again 
later if folk think they'd be useful.

Sorting out documentation is next, after which I'll start on Apple 
Event Object Model support for aem.receive. Comments, suggestions, 
brickbats, etc. to the usual address, ta.

has

p.s. One minor change in the aem and appscript APIs: the NOT() method 
used in constructing test references has been replaced with a NOT 
property. Otherwise, they should be identical to before.
