The problem is: now that I have

applescript to send commands to other machines. Upon trying to check and
compile, I get "Can't get the application's event dictionary."

You need to specify the machine via a URL now, instead of using the machine's AppleTalk name.

tell application "XTension" of machine "eppc://10.0.1.9/" -- fake ip address
end tell

Are you actually able to get this to work? I was under the impression that this was broken in OSX since day one and I still cannot get it to work under 10.1.5.

When I do the above, the script editor just removes the "of machine" extension entirely leaving me with a script that points to the finder on my local machine. I have had no luck with sending remote apple events from OSX, either via scripts or from C code compiled directly from Apple's example pages.

I can send events to a program running on OSX from an OS9 machine though.

I've reported this as a bug to Apple, and if other people see the same thing then I suggest you do too! If you don't see that, please post an example that works for me to try out.

Thanks,
James
