This sounds very good.

Is it otherwise stable?
It seems like it should be sufficient. I'd only need to send it one
event - gotta learn about that anyway, but an example or two would be
nice - and perhaps there's a way for the sender to wait for the
recipient to finish or something.

Can I have a binary, please, and I'll struggle with AppleScript by
myself. I've already been able to start Hugs from a script. This is
an iMac, I have Stuffit Expander, mail comes to a Unix machine, and
I'm a bit confused but usually lucky about moving things between here
and there.
Thanks a lot,
