The script below is written on a machine that doesn't have Jon's Commands
installed:

try
	«event JonstikC»
on error
	display dialog "who's this Jon dude?"
end

I'm sure this is overly simplified, but essentially, compiled scripts contain
just raw events. Only when you open the script in a script editor are they
translated into some form of english.
