Hello Matt,

I finally did something using the following suite definition:
<suite name="My Suite" code="mysu">
        <class name="document" code="docu" description="my project"
plural="document" inherits="document">
                <cocoa class="MyDocument"/>
                <property name="source" code="snam" description="name of source
file" type="text">
                        <cocoa key="sourceFile"/>
                </property>
                <responds-to command="dosomething">
                        <cocoa method="handleDoSomethingScriptCommand:"/>
                </responds-to>
        </class>
        <command name="dosomething" code="dosc" description="do something">
                <cocoa class="NSScriptCommand"/>
                <direct-parameter type="document"/>
                <result type="any"/>
        </command>
</suite>

MyDocument is derived from NSDocument and has property sourceFile and method
- (id) handleDoSomethingScriptCommand: (NSScriptCommand *) cmd
{NSLog(@"got it"); return nil; }

I wrote a simple script:
tell application "My App"
        activate
        make new document
        set source of first document to "/some/path/here"
        --tell first document to dosomething
        close first document
end tell

This works until I remove comments from the line that calls my method.
I receive an error that there is no variable "dosomething".
I tried another syntax: "dosomething first document" and received an error too.

The questions:
1. Did I correctly subclassed document from standard suite?
2. Did I correctly described a property? Should it be string or file
type if it is a path?
3. What did I do wrong with calling of method? How to fix it?

Thank you.
