Thanks for the reply Walter.
Unfortunately it still did not work when I saved the scripting addition
in the package contents in a :Contents:Resources:ScriptingAdditions:
folder.
I am using Panther and do not have a space in "ScriptingAdditions".
Does this work for others? Am I missing something?

I seem to remember Chris Nebel mentioned some time ago that it was
possible to save an OSAX in the package contents of an Applescript
saved as an application bundle. I have just tried unsuccessfully to
do this. Does it only work with certain osaxen? Where in the
application bundle should it be saved?

ways. First, using "path to" and a bit of relative path jiggling
will get you the internal Resources folder, in which you may store
whatever you like. Also, a fairly obscure feature of Panther is
that if you put a scripting addition inside
:Contents:Resources:ScriptingAdditions:, it will be loaded for that
applet, so you don't have to muck around with telling people to
install it manually. Of course, that only works if they're running
Panther.
