Guys, 

I am still struggling with this. the main problem is making sense of the following part of instructions on the org-mac-protocol.org installation page, basically how to call on the emacs-server from one of the many org-mac-protocol supported apps.

How do the templates relate to using 'n' and 't' for notes and todos, in most other examples? What are the parts of the remember template that relates to that choice? What is the reference later oin the page meaning?

What are the 'defaults' or 'built-in' ones? 

Should this actually use remember or should this now be capture instead? What would need to change to use capture?

And as a last but maybe the most central question, of mine, what do I do with the last two "AppleScript" lines in the above section where I am coming unstuck? How or where do I enter this on a Mac OS X Leopard 10.6.5?

Are the above installation instructions of copying the scripts to the users Library/Scripts directory still correct with Snow Leopard and it's usage of services?

Thanks for any help with taking this to a working setup. I promise that I will document my findings on worg.
