If I save this as an application:

display dialog "Pointless!" giving up after 3
ignoring application responses
tell application "quitter"
display dialog "Pointless!" giving up after 3
quit
end tell
end ignoring

I get an error instead of the second dialog. It says '"Pointless!" doesn't
understand the display dialog message.' If, however, I run the above from
Script Editor, there is no error. The second dialog never pops up, but there
is no error. I used MacArmyKnife's process manager window to verify that
'quitter' does in fact launch and quit. I just never see the dialog box. If
I remove the "ignoring" wrapper, it behaves fine if run as an application,
but not from Script Editor.

hmmm.
