That's correct.
What about AppleScript code used with NSAppleScript inside a Cocoa
app compiled as universal application?
NSAppleScript can be created with source or with contents of URL. Is
there a difference in the way the code will run in both cases?
I reiterate: AppleScript as such is neither Intel nor PowerPC; it's
data that's fed to an interpreter. What matters is the architecture
of the process running the interpreter; where the data came from
doesn't matter. If that process is a single-file application saved
from Script Editor, it's PowerPC-only, because that's how Script
Editor saves them. If it's a bundled application saved from Script
Editor, then it's universal, because that's how Script Editor saves
them. If it's some other application, well, look at what it says
about that application in Finder's info. Universal means universal,
PowerPC means PowerPC.
