Forcing droplet to launch QT for OS X?

I'm very much a newbie to AppleScript. I've gotten through some of the tutorials and I was starting to have some fun. Then I ran into the following puzzle:

I wrote a droplet appropriate for the QT Player for OS X. For some strange reason, the script I wrote insists on trying to launch the classic QT Player (when I comment out the lines appropriate only for the OS X QT Player-otherwise it doesn't even compile with AS Editor). The example droplets in Apple's downloadable QT scripts launch the OS X QT Player.

There must be some way that the AppleScript Editor is giving the new script the path to the Classic QT Player. But where did this get specified initially?

Facts: I have 9.1 Classic installed on one drive and OS X on another. QuickTime has been updated to the latest versions, and I just installed the latest OS X update and ASS too. The AS Editor is on the OS X drive. I have a G4 laptop with the same OS configurations on which the exact same script launches exactly what it is supposed to launch: the OS X QT Player. I have looked on the list archives but didn't find anything
that seemed relevant.

Thanks for any help
