- I think PageMaker 4.2 has a fairly complete set of AppleEvents, though
- it's not recordable. I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen some
- Frontier scripts that call its events.
-
- If you've got Frontier or QuicKeys2 you should be able to look up which
- events a particular app supports, assuming the app uses the "aevt" (I think)
- resource correctly, which not all of them do. You may also be able to
- look up events with AppleScript.
