Don't worry, neither do I. ;-)

The OS 9 script should compile and work on OS X too. I haven't been paying
attention to AppleScript changes for OS X since May, but back then the
scripts pretty much did the same thing they did in OS 9. Post your OS 9
script and we'll see if we can help.

You forgot Java, which is a "1st class citizen" in Mac OS X.

Yeah, like when I try to download Ldraw Viewer .3, and for some reason the
file extension is ".si" instead of ".sit" and so it opens in Word.
OS X uses Launch Services to handle what launches with what. In other
words, when you "Get Info" on a file and change the app it launches with,
that choice is saved in the Launch Services prefs. I have had some trouble
with the Launch Services prefs getting corupted. Apple still has some work
to do.
