Salling Clicker is a suite of computer programs to enable the remote control of a Macintosh or Microsoft Windows Windows PC from a mobile phone . It is written and maintained by Jonas Salling from Sweden through the company Salling Software. A long list of phones is supported, from the Sony Ericsson T68 up to a variety of modern Symbian OS devices. The connection happens over Bluetooth or WiFi . A menu of actions is presented on the phone. On the Macintosh these correspond to a list of AppleScript items specified in the Clicker Settings pane. These enable control of applications such as iTunes or Microsoft PowerPoint PowerPoint , and because they are AppleScript the list is expandable. On Windows, XML and JScript is used. JScript can be used, for example, with the Windows Scripting Host WSH to control and manage programs.

Unreferenced date March 2011 StepTalk is the official GNUstep Scripting language scripting framework that represents separate scriptable servers or applications as a single object environment. It is meant to be independent of the programming language used its default language is Smalltalk on top of the Objective C runtime. StepTalk was ported to Mac OS X . Introduction The goal of StepTalk is to provide an environment for gluing applications together and to provide a framework for communication between users and objects in the applications. Other major goals are simple and quick extensions of applications or tools batch processing of objects in applications or tools fast prototyping of applications or new application features play and tune a concept online The default scripting language in StepTalk is Smalltalk. This is because Smalltalk is a very simple language and is easy to learn. There are just a few basic principles that the user has to know to be able to use the language and it is close to the natural language. Smalltalk uses a similar approach to that of Objective C, the language used in GNUstep itself. Platforms StepTalk works on any platform that GNUstep works on. Ports to native Mac OS X Cocoa API Cocoa framework are being developed by various contributors.

ToolTalk is an interapplication communication s system developed by Sun Microsystems SunSoft in order to allow applications to communicate with each other at runtime. Applications supporting ToolTalk can construct high level messages and hand them off to the system s ToolTalk server, which determines the proper recipients and after applying permission checks forwards the message to them. Although originally available only on SunOS and Solaris Operating System Solaris , ToolTalk was chosen as the application framework for the Common Desktop Environment and thus became part of a number of Unix distributions as well as OpenVMS . While ToolTalk had object oriented and procedural messages and a complex pattern structure which allowed dispatch of messages to processes based on object names, message names, and parameter types, actual desktop protocols never took full advantage of its power. ref Julienne, Astrid M. and Holtz, Brian ToolTalk and Open Protocols Inter Application Communication 1994 ref Simpler pattern matching systems like Apple Computer s AppleScript system did just as well.
