Getting Items From Descriptor Lists

The Apple Event Manager provides three functions that allow you to get items from any descriptor list, including an Apple event record. The AEGetNthPtr and AEGetNthDesc functions give you access to the data in a descriptor list. The AEGetArray function gets data from an array contained in a descriptor list.
