- In general applications that supports Apple Events would publish the
- event they supported in an aete resource. A number of scripting system
- would parse the aete resource to use the information. Look in ftp.apple.com in
- /pub/appleevents for ResEdit template for the aete resource (only work
- if the resource is small), HyperCard aete editor stack to read the aete
- resource, and Apple Event XCMD stack to talk from HyperCard to such
- application using the aete information.
