Examples
Platform Notes This verb is only implemented in the Mac OS version of Frontier.

Notes This is a low-level verb intended to be used only with applications that support the Core suite of Apple Events. Typically, an application's verb table will include high-level verbs that correspond to all of the events that it supports, so scripts should

not have to call the core verbs directly.
