Mr. Watson asks:

And, as Mr. Tea suggested, I'm using "Play Sound", or my bastardized
rendition of some of it:

property soundFilename : "simple wooden flute"

set soundAlias to (my ParentFromPath(path to me, true) & soundFilename) as
alias
tell application "Play Sound"
    play sound soundAlias
    quit
end tell

I haven't had much time to play with this yet, but I did try taking out the
various "activate" commands, but still don't have the results I want.
Frankly, I'm surprised that such a sensible request is so difficult to
achieve. Very grateful for any help.

(Debated at length in my mind whether to pose this question here or on the
Applescript list, but I note so many cross-listers that I settled on this
one)
