I just saved the below script as an app and ran it.

The dialog does not appear unless the application is brought to the front.
So your experience is different than mine in OS 10.2 with AS 1.9


tell application "Finder" to activate
tell me to display dialog "Boo"


Me refers to the script or the editor your running it from, not the
frontmost app. U

Thanks,

Jason Bourque
