Question - what’s up with this change?

    Fixed bug#18283: Enable applescript in NextStep.

    * nextstep/templates/Info.plist.in: Set NSAppleScriptEnabled to YES.


So, this does not enable AppleScript handling.  All it does is it declares that 
we  can handle AppleScript.  But can we?  It would be news to me.  The URL 
below details all the things that have to be done to handle AppleScripts.  For 
example, we have to have a scripting definition file (sdef) and actually handle 
incoming events.

So,  the reporter of bug #18283 literally requested this change, but I think 
that may have just been a somewhat silly way to say:  “Can you please support 
AppleScript?”

But perhaps I’m misunderstanding all of this and there’s a grand master plan. 
Anders?
