Two things: 1. appscript only works for applications that have an aete/sdef
terminology resource, and 2. it doesn't support the special 'ascrbsbr' event,
which is not something used outside of AppleScript applets. You'd need to use
aem instead:
from aem import *
Application(a).event('ascrpsbr', {'snam':'processevent', '----':['system',
'start']}).send()
Anyway, the usual approach would be to define a standard AE handler, e.g.
'PCAVProE', with named parameters, '----' (direct) and 'Par2'. That allows you
to write:
Application(a).event('PCAVProE', {'----':'system', 'Par2':'start'}).send()
or:
tell application a
set r to «event PCAVProE» "system" given «class Par2»:"start"
end tell
You can then add an aete/sdef resource to provide terminology for that command
if you want.
