Actually of all places, you'll find this in the Read Me that came with
AppleScript:
Improvements in searching for applications
When a script with a "Tell application" statement is compiled, AppleScript
needs to find the application with the name given. If the application is
running, or is a standard double-clickable application, this almost always
succeeds; but for certain kinds of applications (system extensions,
control
panels, etc.) the search sometimes fails and the "Where is application"
dialog box is presented. This version of AppleScript automatically
searches
the System Folder and its enclosed folders for such applications by name,
increasing the chances that the application you name will be found without
the dialog box.
