Folks,

	I'm a little confused...

	I'm attempting to help with simplifying some automation here...

	I'd like to setup a Python program to automatically run some
	Applescript commands here....

	(Freehand 10, Open command...)

	But I don't see any way to do the equivalent of:

		tell application "Macromedia Freehand 10"
			open "filename"
		end tell

	I suspect it's possible, but I'm not sure how to do it in
	python...

	(And I've got the OPEN syntax wrong, but my Applescript
	book is at home.... Anyone want to fix it?)

	The entire idea, is that I could use SYS.ARGV to change the
	name of the application, and the open target...

	Thus our automation becomes a little simpler...
