Any script that does not have a run handler and has code not in any other
handler implicitly has a run handler. This script:
say “run”
That is wrapped in an implicit run handler. Including “on run” is most
important when the script has other handlers as well, such as:
on run
—Runs when you hit run or launch applet.
set fyls to choose file blah blah
my open fyls
end run
on open fyls
—Runs when you drop files onto applet.
log fyls
end open
