References to Remote Applications 5
If the application is on a remote computer, you must specify its name as it
would be listed in the Application menu, the name of the computer, and if
necessary the name of the zone in which the computer is located:
quit application "Scriptable Text Editor" 
of machine "Mr.Science" of zone "Far Side"
The specified remote application must be running. AppleScript doesn’t open
applications on remote computers. In addition, the computer that contains the
application and the computer on which the script is run must be connected to
an AppleTalk network, program linking (set with the Sharing Setup control
panel) must be enabled, access for the user (set with the Users & Groups
control panel) must be provided, and the application must allow remote
program linking (set by selecting the application, choosing Sharing from the
File menu, and selecting the checkbox labeled “Allow remote program
linking”). For information about these menus and control panels, see the user’s
guide for your Macintosh computer.
This script sends several commands to an application on a remote computer:
tell application "Scriptable Text Editor" of 
machine "Pegi's Mac" of zone "Publications"
open file "HD:Reports:Status Report"
set pegisReport to text from paragraph 1 to 
paragraph 4of document"Status Report"
close document "Status Report"
end tell
tell application "Scriptable Text Editor"
open file "Department Status"
copy pegisReport to end of document "Department Status"
tell app "Scriptable Text Editor" to quit
