I find that doesn't work OMM (OS X 10.2.8). "name of EVERY process
whose frontmost is true" returns a one-item list which the "tell
application" statement doesn't like. Changing it to "name of SOME
process whose frontmost is true" fixes it as it returns a string.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unless you see something that is in poor
taste, I think I'll go with:
tell application "Finder" to set frontProcess to (name of every
process whose frontmost is true) as text
tell application "RealOne Player" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "RealOne Player"
click menu item "Zoom Window" of menu "Window" of menu bar item
"Window" of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
tell application frontProcess to activate -- return to the process
that was interrupted
The above seem so work from the Script Editor, from the script menu
and as an App.

Because these two fail in some circumstances, such as when launched
from the Script Menu:
--tell application "Finder" to set frontProcess to (frontProcess &
(name of every process whose frontmost is true) & return)
--tell application "System Events" to set frontProcess to
(frontProcess & (name of every process whose frontmost is true))
