In this thread I put together a little tool to 
help me see what is going on with the more 
complex code russp has been wrestling with. This 
should launch an AppleScript file.

OSADoScriptFile is defined in the OSA.h header 
file and is supposed to be available in OS X 
10.3.+. However, upon launch I get a warning that 
OSADoScriptFile is not available on my computer 
(I'm running OS X 10.3.9 here at home). Any ideas 
why this isn't working? If you're running Tiger, 
would you mind testing it for me?

BTW: Here's a simple AppleScript that simply 
launches the AppleScript editor and can be made 
into a script to put on your Desktop for testing-:

tell application "Script Editor" to activate
