Sophie, alloc.init is the same as new in Ruby and probably make in applescript. Basically, alloc allocate an object of a given type and initialize it. All instances of a class can be initiated using alloc.init. If you look at my previous post, I started working on an application that document the ScriptingBrige interfaces, here is a screenshot: https://img.skitch.com/20111115-dy4wrh9ppbybhxm4j4xn33ip9h.jpg
