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))
