The list of commands, functions, properties, and so on that AppleScript can use to interact with an application is called that application’s dictionary. You can find QLab’s AppleScript dictionary here, or view it within the Script Editor application, which is found in /Applications/Utilities.

In Script Editor, choose Open Dictionary… from the File menu, and choose QLab from the list of applications.

The dictionary is grouped by “suite”; all applications that use AppleScript must include the Standard Suite, and then any application-specific commands or properties are generally grouped together into another suite named after the application.
