1. classic compiled script - everything in one file
2. the application is saved as an OS X style bundle - a folder with
files inside it masquerading as a single file (like most OS X programs)
3. Same as 2., except for a script, not an application.
4. classic application - everything in one file

You didn't ask about stay open applications. These are ones that don't
quit at the end of the run handler. Usually they have an idle handler
that runs periodically.

HTH,
