[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Script Manager questions-repost

I have two questions regarding the script manager, which didn't seem to get posted
earlier, so I am reposting (with more information). 

First, does anyone have any example code on how to use the script manager routines
for converting numbers to canonical format and back. I can't seem to get it to 
work right. In playing with it, it seems that FormatStr2X converts a formatted 
string into some strange number, not what it should be. More strangely, by using 
FormatX2Str I am able to turn the strange number back to the original string. 

Second, are third-party script interface systems possible or has Apple decided to 
keep that stuff to itself?
