| Platform Notes |

|
| 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. Instead of providing the text of a script, the appScript parameter can be an alias value identifying a file containing the script to be executed.
