The AEPutParamDesc function takes a descriptor record and a keyword and

converts them into a parameter that it adds to an Apple event.

The parameter theAppleEvent is the Apple event to which you are adding a

parameter.

The parameter theAEKeyword is the keyword for the parameter. If there was

already a parameter with this keyword in the Apple event, it is replaced.

The parameter theAEDesc is the descriptor record for the parameter.
