I don't know of any existing documentation in the online help that 
discusses Apple Events.  Apparently this is an error in indexing.
I will forward this to our publications group.

There is a mention of AppleScript support in the kernel in the
Getting Started guide.  You can find it at the end of this page.

This is probably what the second URL should have pointed to.
