<div><br></div><div>First of all, what is it you're doing with AppleScript? I don't quite get what you're automating. </div><div><br></div><div>Metacello is throwing me a curve and I may have some light to shed. </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you download ConfigurationOfExternalWebBrowser and go to the class side you will not see #load. If you download ConfigurationOfSeaside28, you will. </div><div>Thus, with the latter you can open a Workspace and type: </div>
<div><br></div><div>ConfigurationOfSeaside28 load</div><div><br></div><div>and go have a cigarette. </div><div><br></div><div>If you do it with the former, you get: </div><div><br></div><div>class(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #load. </div>
