That either begs or answers the question, since the whole point of
discovering the Finder's name was to know how to address 'tell application
"Finder"'! If you're saying, as you appear to be, that 'tell application
"Finder"' _always_ works, even if the Finder has another name on , say,
Russian version of the OS (is everything there in Cyrillic) there may not
even be a need any longer to get the name.
So - does it?
