Myself, last post

The day is long, and the battle has just began...
But we can already count the survivors...
Paul B reminded me to add ".app" to these 2, and now they too work as
expected:
.............................
set XHelpAppPath to (path to "csrv" as Unicode text) & "Help Viewer.app"
tell application XHelpAppPath
set XHelpAppPath to (path to system folder as Unicode text) &
"Library:CoreServices:Help Viewer.app"
tell application XHelpAppPath
..............................
So now, the summary is:
OMM if Help Viewer isn't yet running, withouth the full path no script will
find it, instead starting sytem 9 and looking for the Classic version.
Nothing that I tried helped (prefs, launcher, replacing help Viewer,
permissions, trying to get SE to learn its location)
This is the only app so far where that happens.
In the process, I learned a lot about different ways to give a script full
path to an app. So some good came out of it.
So thanks to all, especially to Paul,
Mike
