At compile time, yes but that is _largely_ irrelevant at rub time

You can put anything in your 'using terms from' statement - I'd go with
'Graphic Converter' - and when you hit compile the Script Editor will look for
a matching application. If it can't find one it will prompt you for which
application you're referring to, then it will load the appropriate dictionary,
compile the app, and you're good to go. This app is *never* referenced again -
at least until you recompile.

The only time this could become an issue is if the dictionary varies between
application versions and there is no backwards compatibility (which is the
responsibility of the application developer, not you), such as if the commands
in older versions are not supported in the newer version.
