In Mac OS X, if you run a stay-open script using the "/usr/bin/osascript"
command, the script loads and immediately quits. The "on idle" handle

A "stay-open script", like any other applet, is an application, not a compiled script. Therefore, you should use "open", as for any app, instead of "/usr/bin/osascript".
