I have not received an answer to my questions about Applescript, so I cannot start to evaluate the issue. I did some digging, it seems to be a non-free scripting engine for OS X that makes it possible for users to talk to other programs, and create macros for automatic things. I could not find any free version of it for GNU, nor any support for it in GNUStep; only OSX uses it.
