// PashuaJS.scpt handles the communication with Pashua.app which, for this test  should be
// in a system or user Applications folder
// You can either take the handlers out of Pashua.scpt and use them inline whenever you write
// a script which uses Pashua, use PashuaJS.scpt as a JavaScript for Automation Library (OS X 10.10 or newer)
// or use the `var Pashua = Library('PashuaJS')` approach used in this file.

// THIS EXAMPLE USES the Pashua.writeConfig() function to generate Pashua config snippets
// from JavaScript objects or arrays of objects, interleaving these with the Pashua config text.

// Generating Pashua config text at run time may be useful, for example, for populating dialog option lists.
