I know how to control the other application with AppleScript, and I
already have AE Monitor (great app!) so I know the commands needed.
The application I am controlling can potentially respond with an
AppleEventRecord. I was hoping to make a generic method that could
parse this result into a RB dictionary and then also make another
method that can take a dictionary and make an AppleEventRecord.
However, it does not appear there is a way to iterate over the
elements in an AppleEventRecord. You apparently already have to know
what element names are in it as well as what format the data is in.
