As Steve Zellers pointed out, Mac OS X only supports program linking via IP, not AppleTalk, so you have to give an eppc URL as the machine name. (E.g., "eppc://hostname".)

There's a known bug that if the machine name isn't a valid eppc or http URL, it will disappear when you check syntax, though of course it wouldn't have worked anyway. Sorry about that.
When trying this, I get a login authorization dialog that won't authorize me. If I cancel it, then I can't ever get it back. Thereafter, when I attempt to compile, it displays an error "Can't get the application's event dictionary."
This is using a script which works fine on 9, targeting a 9 system from X.1.
tell app "Internet Explorer" of machine "eppc://ip-address"
set wid to item 1 of (ListWindows)
set wl to GetWindowInfo wid
set cURL to item 1 of wl
end tell
I'm finding X is a great drain on my functionality and productivity, but at least the OS doesn't crash. ;)
