One thing that might be of great help and could completely avoid the 
learning process you mention, would be to take a look at the resource 
file where BBEdit declares its apple events and applescript syntax, 
what is gathered in the .scriptSuite and .scriptTerminology under 
cocoa, I don't know really where it lies in a carbon app.

Could not find any info at BareBones for that...
