    Description:
    routines providing the c glue code for calling the AppleScripts
    defined in the file AddOnScripts.applescript.  The routines in this
    file are constructed to provide an interface between your
    application and the scripts defined in AddOnScripts.applescript.  Though
    the scripts themselves may be changed dramatically for different purposes,
    requirements, and server applications that are called by the scripts, there
    is no need to change any of the routines defined in this file (unless, of
    course, you're adding new ones or additional functionality).

    away, this can be useful to speed things up because your app doesn't need to
