But for the past several years you've been able to compile using

and don't need the raw codes. It just works as long as you compile on a
computer (OS 9.0 or later) with all the right apps, and use a variable for
the app name as Richard23 has above. You can even use it on older OS's and
it works.

Is there something I'm missing here?



Well, nothing major, just that I like to release scripts that are easily editable. As far as I know, you don't have much leeway when application specific terminology is involved. You've got to make explicitly clear what application your using terms from so a script can find the terminology when compiling. As soon as someone opens my script on their machine to fix some dumb little assumption or just to fool around, AS starts throwing up "Where's that app at?" dialogs.

Hey, Apple's English grammar is not that horrible. Please eliminate the superfluous, trailing "at" before I barf. Thank you. ;)

People who say "Where's ___ at?" should have their mouths washed out with soap.
Such bastardizations of the language make "I ain't got none" sound erudite.

At least, that's how I thought it worked. Are you saying that you can compile with a terms block on one machine, and the script will contain the necessary resources to be recompiled elsewhere even if that application is no longer present?

That doesn't sound possible.
