On Friday, January 17, 2003, at 02:16 PM, it was written (by Michael
Cytrynowicz, Paul Berkowitz and Emmanuel):
tell application ("Help Viewer.app" & "")
Clever.
<homer> Mmmm ... Cle-vver ... </homer>

Emmanuel, I tried:

launch
display dialog "Hello!"
end tell
?!?? It still causes System 9 to lauch!!!!!
<homer> Doh!!! </homer>
That's certainly of little help, but OMM (10.2.1) Michael's script
above launches OSX' Help Viewer.
Hold on a second ...
Am I missing something important here? Michael's original script worked
perfectly for me on OSX.2.3, SE1.9:
--Begin Michael's original (problem) script
tell application "Help Viewer"
activate
display dialog "Hello!"
end tell
--End Michael's original (problem) script
The newest posted solution (with "Help Viewer.app" & "") gives me a
"Hello" dialog box, but no Help Viewer (I thought it was giving me an
error, but now it just tells me the button returned "OK").
I've just copy/pasted these snippets into Script Editor and "Run" them.
Is anyone expecting/doing anything different?
FWIW, I haven't seen Classic on any of these snippets yet, so I think
Michael has something weird with his configuration/installation/setup
or something like that (could some .plist or some config file do
something like this?). But I don't pretend to know much, except that I
can't reproduce his problem OMM (read "the code seems to be OK???") ...
As a side note, I just noticed that SE1.9 doesn't seem to have any
Preferences (Script Editor/Preferences are grayed out). Is that right
or did I find a "loose screw" in my app?
(OSX.2.3; Dec Dev tools; SE1.9, AS1.9.1)
