Thank
Craig Sutherland told you how to retrieve the 4-characters code of the app
(its "creator", say "wxyz"). Once you have this creator, you retrieve the
path of the app with:
--------------------------------- tested with "ToyS" instead of "wxyz"
tell application "Finder" to get application file id "wxyz"
---------------------------------
