OK, here's a request.  Would it be possible (either through a HC update or
an XCMD) to send ANY AppleEvent?  In other words...let's say that there is
a published list of AppleEvents (which I assume there is, or will be), and
you want to send an AppleEvent to all open applications or to just one
particular application.  Would that be possible?  For example, could you 
perhaps have a command like:
   send 'oapp' to 'Microsoft Word'
so that MSWD would get the oapp AppleEvent?  I'm using oapp as an example,
but I'm talking more specifically about AppleEvents outside of the list
you gave.

Hope I didn't confuse you to death...
