You can do this already?!?!?!?

I admit I didn't look into the OSAm module... (Or at least I don't
remember doing so)

But this defintely needs to be documented!!!  I've been kind of looking
into doing something like this.......

Thanks Mark!

For really simple AppleScripting stuff, the OSAm module in 
:Mac:Contrib: is very handy since you can take ordinary AppleScript 
source and pass it to CompileAndExecute.  For some uses, it may be 
simpler to use Python to build up the AppleScript source on the fly and 
then let AppleScript compile and execute the actual AppleEvents rather 
than try to build up the AppleEvents inside Python.
