This class is used to register objects as handlers of raw Apple Events in a Cocoa application. Instances of this class are not only responsible for registering and unregistering handlers, but are also responsible for dispatching events to the appropriate handler object. An application has a single instance of NSAppleEventManager that is shared among its objects; this event manager is obtained using the class method sharedAppleEventManager.
