The SA folder was in Extensions folder pre OS-8.5 (or maybe pre 8.1). You're
reading very old documentation. Leave the Scripting Additions folder in
System folder. There aren't even any old osaxen any more which need the
Extensions folder SA, I don't think (there was a short transition period
where people might have needed both). It is confusing when all that old
documentation is still floating about,
Check the AppleScript SourceBook at
<

over various versions.
