Most? I don't think so. Small and simple apps generally don't, bigger and more sophisticated ones generally do. Apple's own apps are more likely to have provide services, but many non-Apple ones do, such as Emacs (duh), LaTeXit, Opera, Quicksilver, Skim, Skype. Relatively few apps have the capability of sending user supplied Applescript commands to other apps, but I would suggest keeping that capability, since it strengthens Emacs' position as a useful tool on the Mac. (Though one could get much the same functionality by running osascript as an external command.) -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen - It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. -- Bertrand Russell
