Running straight through, like a normal Applescript



I want to write an application that behaves like a normal Applescript: running straight through from beginning to end (possibly with dialog boxes along the way) and then quitting when done. (I can't just use an Applescript, because I need user defaults and pretty complicated dialog boxes and a few other advanced features that are available only in AppleScript Studio apps.)

What's the best way to do this?

I tried just running the script from main(), but the app spewed errors whenever I tried anything more than the usual AppleScript stuff. (For example, when I tried to use "user defaults".) I presume there's some initialization that happens when I call NSApplicationMain() that I'm not getting. I'm also concerned that without an event loop, my dialogs might not work correctly (I haven't tried throwing up a dialog box from the nib yet). So should I call NSApplicationMain()? Then how do I get run-straight-though-and-quit behavior?
