Re: [MacPerl] Help with AppleEvents

First, you may want to consider using Mac::AppleEvents::Simple.  It does
disposing and some of the contructing for you.

This code:

  seld:TEXT(\@)

is kinda like %s in sprintf().  It says, take the next parameter in the
list and use it as TEXT in seld.  So it takes "kocl:type(euMB)" as text.
Instead, try this:

		params => ["'----':obj{want:type(euMF), " .
			"from:null(), form:enum(name), seld:TEXT(\@)}",
			'', "kocl:type(euMB)"
			]

The added '' parameters should do it.
