Why don't you just keep the relevant apps open while you're working on the
script? If you open them _first_, before you open your script in Script
Editor, it will not ask you where the app is when it compiles. It always
checks running apps first.
If this is something new with a recent OS, it may even be there as a check
against having the same app in separate OS 9 and OS X incarnations. Instead
of guessing and getting it wrong, with worse consequences, it may just ask
as a matter of course now.
