[Pythonmac-SIG] Question about AppleScript on OSX

[Jack Jansen]

Folks,
I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. On OSX 
it seems that the OSA resources of OS9 and earlier (the AETE and 
AEUT resources) have been replaced by a much nicer mechanism: 
plist-style files with extensions .scriptSuite (defines the 
4-letter codes and parameter types and such for events and 
classes) and .scriptTerminology (defines the english verb names 
and descriptions used in AppleScript).

All very nice, but there's one bit I can't find, and that's how 
the direct object of the verbs is defined. For instance, 
NSCoreSuite.scriptSuite has the the standard stuff, but if you 
look at the "open" verb then it doesn't have it's direct object 
defined anywhere. But if you look at it through Project Builder 
"open dictionary" the direct object type is listed as "list of 
aliases".

Any clues on where I should look? Any pointers to documentation 
of these files?
