You're wish has been granted:-) DDE support for Windows, Applescript
support for Mac. You can even save and load compiled scripts from the
resource fork for fast execution. Some of the other things included in
the Mac external are
a) recording sound to AIFF files.
b) speaking text using speech manager.
c) changing filetype of existing files.
d) opening and printing files as if open/printed from the finder
e) copying images,card to clipboard
f) exporting images,cards as pict files.
g) retrieving size of window's title bar, system menu bar.
Now back to the subject at hand...

I have to agree with Jacqueline on this, we live in a very paper driven
world and printing is a necessity not a specialized function.
