try

on error number -43 -- error produced when run in OS X
-- do OS X stuff
end try
What he said.
Thanks. This works nicely, provided I control which version of the
Finder and associated AppleScript application actually processes the
script. In other words, if AppleScript (version 1.6) under OS 9 runs
the script it works as does AppleScript (version 1.9) running under
OS X.
To complicate the issue, ultimately I call this AppleScript within an
application running under OS X Classic. Apple's Classic works quite
well and it appears that AppleScript (version 1.6) then handles the
script under Classic, rather than OS X's version. Not quite what I
intended.
Is there any way to control which version of AppleScipt runs this
script, even in those circumstances when OS X's Classic is running?
It may be 6 to 9 months before the Classic application I use is OS X
native so I must use a Classic application during this transition
period.
