Hey belushi81x (and any other Mac users out there)

In Windows it's possible through something called the COM (Common Object Model?) and ActiveX to have programs that you write control other programs. For example, I can write a Java application that can open, modify, and save a Word document in Word (it starts up an instance of Word and then tells it what to do on my behalf).

Is there any similar thing available for the Macintosh equivalents?

Thanks!
