Generally, I'd rather not bloat my post with the code unnecessarily,
although I'd be happy to send it to anyone interested enough to take a
peek...just let me know (though see below first).

Absolutely!
Knowing NSS is an FBA, I also gave it plenty of time to load via 30
seconds or more of post-script-run time (by using on run as just a
flag-setter, while on-idle only returns 30 on its first run, having
flipped the state of the flag on its first handling, and actually runs the
other script on subsequent idles).
If NSS isn't "ready" then my same frustration exists in that why should I
have to force-start something like this (I'd remove Remote Access from the
system if I didn't want it to be "ready" withoput running Script Editor).
Also, all I am doing is editing the script that came with the addition.
I realize NSS is not an addiiton, but "RA PPP Status OSAX (PPC)" most
certainly is - I am using OS 9.1, and need it, based on one of those
sketchy OS/AS/component version issues that seem to crop up for everyone
on this list...
Since the app/script combo works fine on its own *after* running the
script through Script Editor, I can't see how my code is at issue. Of
course, the current version does include an open/delay/quit of Script
Editor hack in the applet (not the script) which doesn't seem to be
working. I'll next try the explicit start-up that you and others have
forwarded to me...
