I want to make an applescript application that I made in applescript editor Universal Binary I know in previous versions of applescript editor you could save it as a application bundle and that would do it, but in Lion there is no choice to save it as an application bundle so is there another way to do it?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Not sure to understand. In Mac OS X Lion, when you save a script as an application, it always results in an application bundle.
While AppleScript applications are, indeed, created as application bundles, they only contain Intel-based code - there is no PPC version which means the app won't run on PPC-based systems.
There's no simple solution to this, other than keeping around an older OS to build your applications on.
Under OSX 10.4 you could do that because these OS ran mostly on PPC (and supported OS9 apps), from 10.5-10.6 I think apple changed the applet to a carbon app so that it ran on both platforms. From 10.7 carbon is history and the applet are intel-only... so if you create an AppleScript-App under 10.7 it will be Intel-Only.
This results in another problem: AppleScript-Apps created unter 10.5/10.6 won't run on 10.7, but you can open them using ScriptEditor under 10.7 and re-save as an App...
😕
Sounds difficult, but after all you can somehow run the script as long as it saved in an App-Bundle (10.4 -> 10.7)
