Here's a low-traffic workaround.

Open the file in X.
Write all the X-specific code.
Save the file in X.
Open the file in 9.
The stuff 9 doesn't understand is rendered as raw events, but is
maintained.
Write all the 9-specific code.
Save in 9.

Then, no matter what OS you open it under, the unknown events will just be
raw, and the known ones will be normal.

It's not pretty, but it works.

Seth,

I'm not sure if this will work, but my mind tell me it should:

for os 9:
tell application (full path to OS 9's FINDER in the OS 9 system folder)
put away disk theDisk
end tell

for OS X, keep it the same as before

Best Wishes,
