Riccardo,
[no break]
open location
"file://localhost/System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/
StandardAdditions.osax"
--> opens this osax in Apple's SE.

How do you make this run as a Script (ie: from the osa menu) as oposed
to an app? I used to use
tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
To do this on 9.2.2, but for some reason it doesn't work in OSX.
You can try [no break]:
set text item delimiters to ":"
set FrontApp to (path to frontmost application as text)'s text item -2
tell application FrontApp to display dialog "Front app is: " & FrontApp
set text item delimiters to ""
From ScriptMenu, you'll always get "System Events.app" as frontmost
application, and it's not very useful.
Also, how do you open Applications' Dictionaries using this technique?
Example, from Apple's SE2:
---
tell me to open alias "put here the full path to your app"
To get the path, you can use:
default application of (info for (choose file))
We get:
set aPath to default application of (info for (choose file))
tell me to open aPath
--> open the dico of the chosen app.
