Sorry, I can't follow that. I know nothing about Applescript except
what little I've learned from this conversation.
I'd rather not learn enough about Applescript to be able to judge
whether using it is ok. I hope that others will understand our
general criteria, and the specific facts of these issues, enough
to be able to make a thoughtful decision about them.
One possible approach would be to delete the Lisp-level interface to
run Appescript code, and add C-level support for doing certain
system-independent tasks by invoking Applescript. I am not saying
that is the one and only right approach, or that it is the best
approach. Only that it is one more to consider.
