Hi Eudora/AppleScript gurus

Since I've had no answer to my previous message, I'll rephrase it in
another way:

"How can I launch an Eudore menu command in Applescript?"

Any answer, including "impossible", "Ridiculous" or "No f.. idea" would
be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

It isn't directly possible because Eudora does not expose all of its
menu commands to AppleScript, however Eudora does contain an AppleScript
'dictionary' that can be used to replicate much (but not all) of what
the menus provide.

In AppleScript jargon[0], Eudora is partly scriptable but not
recordable, attachable, or tinkerable.
