Clearly if you are allowed to recast the OP's problem to a different
problem, you can give a different answer. You're making two assumptions that
the OP did not say one could make (namely, the script already exists as an
app, and its location is known).
Actually, I asked the OP offline what he *really* wanted to do, and it turns
out that this is not an AppleScript problem at all. He simply wants to
launch an app in response to browser click. So I told him about the URL
protocol mechanism. m.
