Sorry, I should have been more clear. I need to copy the application in 
a script. For most files, I can use:

put url ("binfile:"&theSourceURL) into url ("binfile:"&theDestURL)
put url ("resfile:" & theSourceURL) into url ("resfile:" & theDestURL)

and I get a new file, but if the file is an OS X bundle, I don't get 
anything at all. It just fails silently.

I am also having a problem setting file types and creators for the 
copied files under OS X, even the ones that aren't apps. I set the 
filetype to what I need and then make the copy with the two lines above. 
The new file has a data fork and a resource fork, but no type or creator.
