Dwight,

If your goal is to have a handy icon to click and view the Dictionary then grab that link (file://localhost/System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ StandardAdditions.osax) and drag it to your desktop. Now you have a Double-clickable icon that opens the Standard additions dictionary in Script Editor. Quick as a wink OMM.

I have a simple script:

Tell application "Finder"
open file "Finder Dictionary" of (path to folder where I have the Dictionary Saved)
End Tell

I saved this as an application to open when I want to start working on Tutorials.

1. This takes forever to run. Really I can just open Script editor and Finder Dictionary quicker than the script does. Is there a faster way to do this?

I just posted this comment about the 'open location' command [no break].
You could try:

open location ""

--> opens this osax in Apple's SE.
