If I run this, I get a Classic droplet. I can see no way of creating a droplet that will run in the OS 10 environment. Is this a bug or do I need to fix something?

No only that but the applet crashes on run. Is it simply that osacompile can't create applets?

do shell script "osacompile -e 'beep 3' -t APPL -c dplt -o " & _dropletpath

You're being over-optimistic. There's a lot more to an applet (or droplet) than just the 'scpt' resource, and osacompile doesn't know how to add all of it. This will be addressed in a future release. In the meantime, the typical solution is to keep a skeleton applet (or droplet) around and use osacompile to stick a new script into it.
