Which is the *exact* reason I'd rather use JSOSA. Having apple event
support is killer.
Being new to the mac world, I'm surprised that OSA (specifically

javascript than applescript.
Now, if there was only a Core.ConsoleOutput("") for running a script
in terminal, rather than echo'ing... (hint hint) :)
