Sounds like your script included a tell statement in the form of
tell application "Fetch 3.0.3"...
Which should be changed for the upgraded application to
tell application "Fetch 4.x"...
Which is, of course, too cumbersome. You mention creator type, and
that is the best way to call an application if you want to avoid the
dreaded "where is application?" dialog. Your script would look
something like
tell application "Finder"
open application file id "FTCh"
set AppFetch to name of result
end tell
tell application AppFetch
display dialog "Hello."
end tell
Hope this helps;
Pier.
