  Apple has defined a set of AppleEvents for all the File-menu stuff as well
as a couple of functional-area AppleEvent sets.

  The ones which I remember offhand as already defined are:  Text
AppleEvents, Finder AppleEvents (for launching applications etc.), and a set
of low-level AppleEvents which correspond to mouse clicks, drags, etc.

  More are in the works, but Apple definitely still wants developers
involved.

  For more info, see the AppleEvents Registry, Introduction to AppleEvent
Objects, and Inside Mac VI on the System 7.0b1 CD.
