Apple events
PrintApple events are the primary interapplication communication mechanism on
Apple Macintoshes. It is a message-based protocol designed for applications
to programmatically control other applications. Apple events can be sent between applications on the same computer, between remote computers, or from the application to itself.
Apple events can not be used at interrupt time, because they use system
services that are not interrupt safe.

programmatically control other applications. Each Apple event consists of an
encoding of a verb, or the command, along with zero or more other encoded
parameters.
