I've not been able to generate a Bridge Support file for the AppKit.framework 
on my machine, but if you can then you can load the framework and then load the 
bridge support file and you should get access to those constants, I believe the 
k changes to K though.

The alternative would be to define those constants in a .rb file which you then 
require into your script.
