Thanks to everyone for your responses to my question.

It seems the main crux of the problem is with Standard Additions. With AS 1.3.7 installed a line in the script 'set theFolder to choose folder' would raise an error. I suggested, seemingly incorrectly, that it might be an idea to upgrade AS and Standard Additions to v1.6 - a combination which I knew would work under various Mac OS 9 systems. Unfortunately when the user installed these versions, the errors mentioned in my original post were raised.

I guess what I don't understand is why the 'choose folder' command appears not to work using AS 1.3.7 and SA 1.3.7 under OS 8.6!?

The error raised is -1708 - ...application QuarkXPress doesn't understand the <<event ScTIstdD>> message. This event code is Standard Additions' choose folder command.

Should I just resign myself to the fact that my script won't run using versions less than 1.6? If so, I'll simply add a version check to the start of the script.

Thanks for all you help,

Juerg
