I had never wanted to run Script Editor under classic, but for me there was
no problem just now doing a tell application "Finder" block, either using
the (1.6) Script Editor on the "pure" Mac OS 9.2.1 partition or using the
one in the 9.2.1 dedicated to Classic and located on the same partition as
Mac OS X.

Finder scripting is fairly well understood (and even working, I'm told, in
Mac OS X 10.1).
You'll be pioneering in the RPC/SOAP area and in the run scripts in
Terminal area. In the long run, there is likely to be lots of action there
(but remember what Keynes said about the long run).

Only have one machine at hand to try it on.
