Making you app scriptable is one reason to use Apple Events. I can't
remember if RB makes our apps scriptable/recordable without our doing
anything special or not. But some problems are easier to solve using
AppleEvents. Many answers to questions on this list involve using
AppleEvents to do one thing or another. Frequently it has to do with
talking to the Finder or another app.

Really for what? Apple Events are for interprocess or interapplication
communication. I'm not a Carbon programmer. I am just curious why one
would use Apple Events outside of making your app scriptable.
