So while these various different parts are technically in the same file,
this is merely a clever trick of the legacy file system which still supports

being more or less the same as a bundle in terms of code and data being
separate.
As I said, I have no clue on what's going on under the hood, so thanks for
taking time to 'pop the bonnet' and explain what the 'half ball and svetzer
valve' do. ;-)
Ah, but it's more than mere techie gadgetry: Using Rev's built in
resource functions you not only have another means of accomplishing your
original goal, but indeed the very one AppleScript uses.
See the Dictionary:
getResources
getResource
setResource
Good for as long as Apple continues to support resource forks (I give it
until OS XI).
