can't find AE opendoc sample code

[Keith Wiley]

the dev apple site either doesn't have -- or has done a good job hiding --
any sample code demonstrating how to handle the AE opendoc event. I
already have code in my program that opens files successfully and I have
the opendoc AE event installed, so if I drop a file on my program the
program launches and the debugger stops inside the right AE function.
However, I have no idea how to tease the file information out of the AE
information. Where is there some sample code on this
stuff?

Thanks.

(there are MacOS X, Carbon and Cocoa FAQs there to which anyone may add

By the way, searching ADC for kAEOpenDocuments had this hit on the first page.

Thanks. I had tried searching for things like "appleevent opendoc sample
code". Everything that came up had "not used" in the open doc section of
the sample code. Quite unhelpful.

'odoc' and OpenDoc are two different things. I'm happy to say that
OpenDoc is quite dead... :) m.
