Thanks for the suggestion, Dave.

Actually I have a copy of aeteconverter but I had a real hard
time trying to figure out how to structure an event to do the
equivalent of AppleScript's

  every record ... whose (some criteria)

The "whose" syntax wasn't something I could figure out from the
output of aeteconverter.  But Capture AE laid it all out for me.
Hence the time I spent building the tool I posted earlier.  I
don't think it's a limitation of aeteconverter -- just don't
think everything I needed is in the aete resource.
