Nope. I must have restarted Script Editor and Script Debugger 100 times or
so since this problem started. And I mentioned that I can get the
terminology by opening the Finder's dictionary without problem, and the
correct keywords display there.
As far as I can recall, I had a very brief respite after installing OS
10.2.6.

OK, folks. This works:
tell application "OS X HD:System:Library:CoreServices:Finder.app:" to
get folder "Users" of startup disk
--> folder "Users" of startup disk
So the system has been pointing me at the wrong Finder. Probably the OS 9
Finder. (I haven't booted into OS 9 in ages, but this has been going on for
ages.) Using 'application "Finder.app' doesn't help - it needs to be the
full path. I can't definitely confirm it:
tell application "OS X HD:System:Library:CoreServices:Finder.app:" to
get application file id "MACS" as alias
--> alias "OS X HD:System:Library:CoreServices:Finder.app:"
whereas
tell application "Finder.app" to get application file id "MACS" as alias
errors. But I think it must be trying to get the classis Finder to respond,
and it can't in OS X.
Weird. I wonder how to reclaim the OS X Finder as application "Finder". I'd
probably need to do an OS 10.2.6 reinstall, maybe a clean reinstall of OS
10.2-->10.2.6. Yucch. Actually I recall doing a simple software Update
incremental 10.2.5-->10.2.6. It's been reported that doing full combo
updates is better than the incremental ones. I'll try the combo.
