How do you handle your documents on Mac without aevt/odoc? Why is this

document-centric apps put your ae handlers in frontScripts? No one else

Well, in my case, I haven't written a document-centered app in some
years. But back when I did use an appleEvent, it worked. And if I
remember right, I put the handler into the stack script.
If I could remember which app that was I'd go look, but it's been so
long I can't even remember that. But there was no bug back when I was
doing it.
Was that in MetaCard?
I first discovered this issue years ago while I was still working with
MC. I made a stack demonstrating a certain technique involving AE for a
client, and it worked great when I built the standalone in MC so I
shipped it to him.
Later after he tried it out with Revolution the appleEvent handler
wasn't triggering. After some experimentation I found that putting it
into a frontScript solved the problem with LC, and haven't thought about
it again until Peter's post today.
