This works in OS 9 (all one line):

(The Finder in OS X can still be a bit cranky - so it may not work there.)
path to "apps" ought to work but it gives a silly error.
"Folder does not exist, and you don't have access privileges to create it."
You need to say
path to "apps" from local domain
I don't know why you need to use 'a reference to' and all those '''sss.
After all this does work in OS X -- I must have done something wrong
the first time -- it's quicker than the loop too:
tell app "Finder" to name of application files in entire contents of
folder "Applications" of startup disk
or
tell app "Finder" to name of application files in entire contents of
(path to applications folder from local domain)
