PageMaker contains an easy to use scripting language that allows end users to automate common tasks. Many actions that were previously only possible with plug-ins can now be done easily and quickly in a script.
If you want to control PageMaker from another application through AppleEvents or DDE, you will need to understand PageMaker scripting because IAC is based on the scripting language.
