I think what Michael is trying to do is write scripts on his development
computer in OS 10.1.x that will be used by users on OS 9 machines, and
hitting the problem that he can't access the Classic Finder while he's in X
so the terms for assigning labels won't let his script compile.
For that, use Smile (or Script Debugger if you have it) while booted in OS 9
to get the whole set of label commands, objects and properties in <<raw
code>> form. (With Script Debugger, you can flip the Finder Dictionary to
"Apple Events". With Smile, read in its Help about portability, then
transcribe every term concerning labels to a script that compiles in a
targeted window, and do a "copy translate" to a window without a target, as
you'll read about.) Save this as text, and bring it over with you when you
switch back to OS X. Then use the raw code terms in your script and they
will compile and save OK, and run on OS 9 machines making labels.
