One reason to do this is if you need to run on 10.1, where NSAppleScript isn't available. If you write your code like this:

NSAppleScript *myScript
= [[[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithSource:myScript] autorelease];

then it creates compile-time dependency on the NSAppleScript class. So when you try to run your application on 10.1 it'll fail dynamic linking, because Foundation in 10.1 doesn't include NSAppleScript.

That's my guess as to why his example does it anyway. If you're only concerned about 10.2 and later, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Ohh.... any idea why using it like above failed on 10.2.6?
