What
are Apple Events?
AppleEvents
are messages that are sent from one Mac application to another that
tell an applications to do something.
Macintosh programs are event-driven: they spend a great deal of time waiting
for an event to respond to. Applications can respond to many events:
menu selections, key presses, mouse clicks, disk inserts, etc. In
order for an application to be able to respond to any of these events,
the developer must explicity write the software code and design
the application to do so.
