Using SfriptEditor 1.9 on my OS neXt machine - a G4 running 10.2.5

-- CheckAdminMail" is a tested AppleScript saved as an APPL on
Jupiter.

Pressing check Syntax results in an edited version like this:
tell application "Finder"
open file "Ganymede:CheckAdminMail"
end tell
Obviously that is not what I want to do. ... Does interprocess
communication work at all over an AppleTalk network? Does anyone
actually use it? Is there a problem with OS neXt talking to Classic?
As a matter of fact, no, it doesn't work. EPPC over AppleTalk has
never been and will never be supported in Mac OS X. EPPC over IP works
fine talking to Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, and Classic, but you must supply
the proper machine URL.
The "editing" is actually a bug that strips any machine name that
doesn't look like a valid machine URL, that is, one that starts with
"
http://"; or "eppc://".
