Scripts can be saved in one of three formats:

- As a script text file which can be opened in standard text editing
  applications.
 
- As a compiled script file which can be run from a script menu.
 
- As a stand-alone application which is launched by double-clicking
  its icon.
 

Further options:

- Compiled scripts can optionally be saved in a non-editable format
  by selecting a checkbox labeled "Run Only" when saving them.

- For stand-alone applications you may choose any combination (or
  none) of the following options by selecting their corresponding
  "Options" checkboxes when saving them:

    - Run Only - selecting this option will save the application in a
      non-editable format.
 
    - Startup Screen - if checked, the script application upon launch
      will display a dialog containing the text from the script
      Description field.
 
    - Stay Open - choose this option if the script contains an idle
      handler. It will cause the application to remain active until
      you quit it.
 
    - Requires Classic - choose this option if you want the
      application to run on Mac OS 9 systems.

What I refer to as "an AS app and a snippet of AS code" is just that
- an AppleScript (stand-alone) application and (some lines of)
AppleScript code that can added to an AppleScript document, be it a
AS text file, AS compiled script, or a AS application.

IMO, it's very straight-forward - there are 3 kinds of AS files. PM,
uses from the script menu in PM, the second kind that is the compiled
script files.

Shall I repost my solution?
