I made a little three-line script and saved it as a compled script, an applet, and a run-only applet.

set TheText to "This is a string."
display dialog TheText

I opened all three in Res-Edit.

1. The 'meat' appears to be stored in the "scpt" resource.
2. The scpt in the applet and the compiled script were identical.
3. Except for the scpt resource, both applets were identical and
contained additional 'app stuff' like "icons," "fonds," and
the like.
4. There were snippets of recognizable text in the script and the
applet, followed by a section (probably) containing the
compiled code.
5. The scpt in the run-only applet was half the size of the other
two, containing only the latter, compiled section.

Therefore one might assume the missing part in the run-only applet is the editable version of the script.
