There is a technique that allows applications to add terminology information
from plug-ins, as the application launches. It's called "dynamic
terminology" or something like that. It is controlled by a bit in the SIZE
resource, as I recall. That's why some applications launch when you try to
open their dictionaries -- they have to load the plug-ins that you have
installed.

But maybe this isn't what you're talking about.

Nope. That works fine. The problem is if the application /re/defines its terminology while it's running. If you do that, Script Editor (and Smile and ...) don't pick up on the changes.
