Very impressive. I see several other bugs (mostly Unicode bugs) which I had
run into are now fixed. Also this one:

"In AppleScript 1.6 through 1.9, compiling a script might cause it to
unnecessarily launch an application referred to in a Tell block of that
script. This has been fixed in AppleScript 1.9.1. [2838223]"

Ah, yes.

Is 'System Events' always running, like the Finder? Can one refer to
'process "System Events"' with impunity in the pre-release GUI context? Or
is it necessary to check whether it's around and launch it first if it
isn't? I ask because Bill Cheeseman mentioned to someone that they could set
'System Events' as a Login item to make sure that's launched before trying
to run some sort of GUI script. Is this necessary?
