AppleScript is Apple's native scripting technology. It enables users to directly control applications, including the Mac OS itself, by creating sets of English-like instructions, or scripts. Developers can make their applications scriptable; that is, capable of responding to Apple events. Carbon and Cocoa applications both support scripting, allowing applications to execute scripts or send individual Apple events to take advantage of features of other applications.
