tell application "System Events"

set p to "Open Dictionary for..."
set theApps to (choose from list scriptableApps with prompt p with multiple selections allowed)

if theApps is false then -- user cancelled

repeat with theApp in theApps


set theApp to theApp as string
set appPath to (path to application theApp)

open appPath

For some reason this has stopped working at some point.

It fails when run from script menu, which I otherwise find to be a marvellous timesaver, although it works just fine if I run it from inside script editor. That makes debugging rather hard.

The symptom is that I can not choose from list. The list appears just fine, and contains the correct items, but for some reason I can make no selection. Just to repeat, this is only occurring when I run it from script menu.

I can not select by the mouse, but it works by cursor! At least here with SnoLeo
