What exactly are you looking for: Apple Event Manager bindings (to  
control scriptable applications from Lisp), Open Scripting API  
bindings (to run AppleScripts from Lisp), or OSA component wrapper (to  
run Lisp code from attachable applications)?

Regarding #1: there's no direct bindings that I'm aware of, although  
you might be able to use one of the available CL-ObjC bridges to  
access Scripting Bridge (yuk) or objc-appscript. Or you could write  
your own. Re. #2: there's a crude text-munging-based wrapper for  
osascript, cl-applescript, or you may be able to access NSAppleScript  
or OSAKit via one of the aforementioned ObjC bridges. Re. #3: not  
likely; there still isn't adequate OSA component support for popular  
scripting langages such as Python and Ruby.
