I don't know if this has been mentioned before on the list, but there is a
doodad called AETEGizmo from last years MacHack which is really neat--if
you script it from the Script Editor it parrots back all of the events
that the script sends it, in AEGizmos form (ie, the form MacPerl expects).
The _really_ cool thing is that if you drop another app on it then it will
"steal" the apps aete resource, so you can target AETEGizmo with a script
you would usually be firing at another app. (Did that make sense?)
