Any classic applet, and the classic Script Editor, too, should be able to
use classic scripting additions in the OS 9 Scripting Additions folder,
while running in Classic in OS X.
The only problem is with the Finder - there is only one Finder, and its the
OS X one. And it's that Finder (actually passing things off to the System
Events application) which appears to be having problems with 'name of
processes' if the processes are Classic. (I did not find that to be the case
back in OS 10.1.2, but I haven't tried it since then.)
So use Akua Sweets in Classic, and its 'all processes' keyword. That should
do it, but I haven't tried it in 10.2 Classic.
