[OS X TeX] emacs and Applescript

[Claus Gerhardt]

Maybe I should rephrase my questions. Some people asked me, if 
Flashmode would also work with emacs/TeXniscope. When I started looking 
into the problem these hurdles emerged: getting

- the path of the open file and
- the information, if the file contains unsaved modifications.

If someone can tell me, in sufficient detail, how these two pieces of 
information could be extracted from emacs by an Applescript, I am 
willing to pursue this point further.
