## Discussion

Discussion Identifies a descriptor for the element that is currently being compared to the object or data specified by the descriptor for the keyword keyAEObject2. Either object can be described by a descriptor of type typeObjectSpecifier or typeObjectBeingExamined. A descriptor of typeObjectBeingExamined acts as a placeholder for each of the successive elements in a container when the Apple Event Manager tests those elements one at a time.
