Bug using Applescript applet as helper app?

I'm working on a project that uses an Applescript helper app which recognizes a certain custom MIME type that I configured through my browser settings. Everything works fine, when I click on my link in the web page the helper app gets called and the script runs as expected. However the catch is if I create a new applet on my computer then that new applet becomes the helper app!?!

This is strange since in my browser setting I specify the helper app by targeting it through "post-process with application" in IE and through "handled by" in Netscape. It seems in both Netscape and IE it doesn't matter what you specify as the helper app. The helper app will always be the latest new complied Applescript applet.

Has anybody experience this phenomenon before?

Thanks,

-Neil
