That probably means you're doing this from a script editor, and the app in
question is one of those (like all the Cocoa Apple apps) that has to be open
for a script to compile. Once you've quit it, the script can no longer find
the active app it expects to be open, and seems to throw this error rather
than just open it up again. You shouldn't get that error when running the
script as an applet or from a script menu, only when you're in a script
editor. It's probably a bug - or would you rather have the app re-open after
you'd just quit it?
