i'd like to write a script that handles apple events (these ones in particular: http://www.merzwaren.com/external_editor.html). note that i want to receive apple events, not just send them.

as far as i can tell, platypus doesn't support that -- or am i missing something? is this a feature it might support in the future? are there any other tools that i should be looking at?

Sorry for the late reply! I've been away for a while and haven't had a chance to answer mail. The short answer is "no". The only Apple event a Platypus-generated application receives is when it receives dropped files -- and these files are then passed on to the script as arguments. I don't plan to support any other form of event passing in the future, so sorry. If you need that kind of functionality, you'd do best to simply learn a little Objective C.
