I am not sure what people are thinking about for AppleScript since I  
have not read how it will integrate with VO yet. but since OS9 one  
could use apple script to read out loud the subject line of all unread  
e-mail messages. Sure you could not use Alex, but fred and bells have  
been around since the mid-90's and so has applescript and the "say"  
command.  I have heard from people that use Visual Basic, that Visual  
Basic primary syntax was taken from AppleScript, since I have never  
looked at a Visual basic script, and I don't know its history I can't  
confirm this. I do know that AppleScript is based off of "Hypercard"  
which did have the ability to pull data from other programs using the  
"tell application <application name>" command.
