Yes, that part works fine on its own even on my machine. But when the =
code passed to AppleScript includes 'tell application =93GrowlHelperApp=94=
=92, then the code will not execute unless the app is present =97 =
there=92s a precompilation step where, presumably, AppleScript =
determines that the target application supports the listed commands.
