Indeed, "System Events" seems to be inaccessible when run from the
Script Menu (but not when run in any other context). Take this
simple script for example:
tell application "System Events"
display dialog "hello"
end tell

Further to my earlier message.... if the script containing this code
is called by another script, then it works, and if it is run from
the "Script Editor" it works. But if it is run directly from the
Script Menu, it does not.

I'm trying to run a script from the script menu and then return the
user to application he was in before the script ran. The following
works just fine when run from the Script Editor, but not when run
from the Script Menu. Why?
tell application "System Events"
set devant to (name of every process whose frontmost is true
and visible is true and name is not "System Events") as string
end tell
----Do stuff here including opening 1 or more other applications
tell application "System Events"
set frontmost of process devant to true
end tell
