[OS X Emacs] Flashmode TeX processing with Aquamacs?

[Stephen Anderson]

On the MacOSX-TeX mailing list, Claus Gerhardt has just announced an  
version of the flashmode package for use with arbitrary editors.  It  
would indeed be wonderful to have flashmode (typesetting simultaneous  
with editing) while editing LaTeX files in Aquamacs.

There is a catch, of course: someone has to write something so that  
Aquamacs will understand the Applescript interface.  And while I can  
cheer, I can't help.  More information can be found at  http://www.math.uni-heidelberg.de/studinfo/gerhardt/Flashmode 
  and the particularly relevant bit is as follows:

What's the chance this can be made to work with Aquamacs?
