Yes, but isn't it rather cack-handed that the processes should

but what you see depends on which end of the box you open.
Thank you; that is the point I was trying to make. It's the same
process regardless.
Yes, but AppleScript doesn't know that. It doesn't really know what
specifiers ultimately mean; it just knows that it's got two object
specifiers, and they're different -- end of story. I suppose you could
apply a rule that says "if they're exactly the same aside from the
containing application, then they're equal", but workarounds are
plentiful, and the real solution is to make "process" a built-in
object, so there's not much point.
