The short answer is that's its a dictionary for root appleScript language.

I'm not sure how to see it in Script Editor. In SD it's just there, labeled appleScript.rsrc

It's not complete, it has stuff that doesn't do anything.
That said, there are a few gems for the more experienced scripter.

Here's an example for the class "alias":

alias
alias (noun), pl aliases
a file on a disk or server. The file must exist when you check the syntax of your script.

 properties
Property	Access	Type	Description
POSIX path	get	string	the POSIX path of the file


Note that the description hasn't been updated. The file does not need to exist when you compile)

ES
