[Pythonmac-SIG] make locations with aeve

[Winston]

Has-

Well, AppScripting works well, so I'm on my way to generating diagrams 
in OmniGraffle programmatically.  It's pretty fun to write little 
python lines and see boxes and circles immediately appear on the 
screen.

Thanks everyone for the help -- Bob, Jack, Has, and anyone else I 
forgot.  Also to one person who speculated I had OmniGraffle 2, yes you 
are right.  I haven't bothered to get OmniGraffle 3 yet.
