Here is the answer. Thanks to Alain, there are all these Applescript 
goodies available for download from this page:
http://www.stazsoftware.com/fb_pak/more.html

In his examples, you can run any applescript right from your app.

In my case, I put a compiled applescript resource into my app's 
resource file and I run it like that with
USR AppleScriptLoadAndRun( theFile as .FSSpec, resID as short )

Note to self: Always check the FB reference web page first!!

Thanks all, and THANKS ALAIN!!!
