There's a lesson on sockets at

It's not that hard and will work on any supported platform and even between
platforms. (iOS and Android are NOT supported at the moment)

I got pretty good at it, way back when developers who really believed in it
made their documentation fairly usable. The trouble with Applescript is that
you are entirely dependent on the really sparse, often wholly inadequate or

Not so fast. There is a Remote Apple Events thingummy in the Sharing
preferences of Snow Leopard, and I think also still in Lion. If an app is
written to respond to Apple Events, then it *should* work. Not sure how you

It sounds like the limitation is in OS X. But I just looked at the link
Colin posted and it looks like you could make that work. Or there's Ken

Why have a few more replies to this topic appeared? Wasn't the link I sent a

Sorry, I take that back, I see in the dictionary that it specifically says
to use colons, and that it also mentions AppleTalk zones.
I have a test app that use to demonstrate this (actually two Rev apps, a
sender and a receiver), which use to be at RevOnline but I notice they are
no longer there.
I've been trying to get this to work here and interestingly enough even

Hi Craig,
I think most people use sockets to allow for inter-application communications.
I think that the send command relied on Mac OS 9 (and earlier) specific
features.
