Reede,
"I'm probably just being prejudiced, but I have a serious question. If it's so
darned easy to use this technology to produce apps which take advantage of
native Mac features, why is it that Word still only supports the required
AppleEvents almost 3 years after System 7 shipped?"
Heck, from what I've seen _most_ Mac applications don't support more than the
standard suite, if even _that_!

P.S. Of course, Word is the caliber of application which _should_ accommodate
AppleEvent and AppleScript technology to the fullest. Doesn't seem that anyone
on the Word development team wanted to pick up where the cross platform
development tool(s) left off!

True enough…
At least it's changing. Seems like most folks were waiting for AS to begin
being widely used.

Reede,
"At least it's changing. Seems like most folks were waiting for AS to begin

Good point. I still think there will be a way to make the Microsoft Visual C++
2.0 cross platform solution work to include platform-specific features. I
think it is a wonderful opportunity for a third party class library (something
like Bedrock was to be).
Time will tell…
