The continuing saga of the Scrip Editor Service...
Michelle suggested the following:

It should still launch the OS X version from then on.
And the script I am talking about is this:
tell application "Help Viewer"
activate
display dialog "Hello!"
end tell
Which causes System 9 to start, for some mysterious reason (MacOS X 10.2.3,
Script Editor Beta 2, sys events 1.1.1)
...
Michelle, this is what happened:
I stuffed (all 3 copies) of Sys 9 Help Viewer I had lying around (different
disks), and, voil`, the script opened, _correctly_ the X version of Help
Viewer.
Then I unstuffed ONE of the old sys 9 copies, and again, when I run the
script, it starts System 9.......
What on earth can be going on? I've never seen anything like this before.
Its almost like George Orwell's:
Some Help Viewers are more equal than others
:(
