Maybe those applications don't support Applescript. Or they don't
support the command "set visible"... Not every application necessarily
has the same Applescript functionality. Try opening the application that
you want to control with the Applescript editor, and look at the
commands.

Oh yes, and by the way, you should direct these kind of questions to a
Mac-oriented newsgroup, such as comp.sys.mac.system.
