A script bundle is not a flat file, but a folder which contains the script itself and other resources, such as script libraries, or shell scripts. Every weekend I try to take 10-20 minutes to learn more about the tools I rely on. For this, AppleScript provides the notion of script bundles and AppleScript applets (which are also bundles).
