If you can hold fire for about a week, I've got half an update ready;
but I've been horribly busy for the last few months so it kind of got
stuck. I should finally have a bit of time from Thursday.

Meanwhile, ensure that Quicksilver is cataloguing your ~/Library/Scripts
directory (I think it does this by default, but you can check the
catalogue pane in the Quicksilver preferences). Have the document you
wish to link to as the front document, call Quicksilver, type the name
of the org-mac-protocol script in the first pane (org-link,
org-remember, org-note), the second pane should show `run', so just hit
return and org-mac-protocol will do its stuff.

I'll improve the docs when I finish the update.

If you're new to Quicksilver you should have a look at the tutorials at
the bottom of the wikipedia page:
