|
| Notes |
This verb is intended to be used only with applications that support the Miscellaneous Standards 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 misc verbs directly. Messages sent as part of a transaction must use the transactionEvent verb rather than the usual appleEvent, so that the transaction ID can be specified. See the Apple Event Registry for details on the use of this IAC verb.
