I won't be able to answer directly your question. The issue being that the
script, once ported on a different machine, do not present any "where is
application so&so" when launched, I am unable to make sure that the
solution Marc K. Myers presents will work always.
I am sure that the solution we use works always. Basically, we use only
"tell appName" ("tell appPath" can be used, too, depends on what exactly
you want) and translate the terms of appName's dictionary into raw code.
This is presented in Smile's help (search for "portability"). Smile's help
can also be browsed on Smile's official site,
