Thank you for this additional knowledge. The .app is a compiled "bundle" application-thing which executes in response to .execute() from a .jsx, but you can also go on Mac and right-click to access the "contents" of the .app - which then becomes a folder directory full of stuff, and has .plist file, etc, and finally has a folder which contains a .scpt which is whatever the applescript you wrote and saved as .app. So it's got all kinds of folders and stuff and the main script it runs, with the main difference is that the .app can be .execute()d . Actually if it were possible to directly write to the .scpt inside the .app, there would be no need to write an execution function to open up an external .scpt in scipt editor and play it.
