No one has taken a stab at this question.  The script applications continue
to produce an error message intermittently when I try to launch them from
the Dock and this behavior has been observed on two different machines.

I've discovered that one way to avoid the error message when launching from
the Dock is to lock the script application file.  However, I'm stumped why
this is necessary.

Anyone have an insight?
