Is there a straightforward way to add an apple script app to
another application's menus? Like the services menu, an existing
menu, or another menubar item? I want to effectively add a new
command to a File menu of a particular application for the top
document window. I can get the top window file in the apple
script and then do the file changes. I would just like something
more convenient than switching to Finder just to double click the
apple script app.

In Script Editor, enable the Scripts menu, then put your AppleScript in ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/<your_app>/

...or did I misunderstand your question?

Thanks. Script interface is created. Now I just have to finish
what the script will do.

Chris Schram already replied about AppleScript / Script Editor, but
another option might be to use Automator, where you can create a
Service. You can even use both by having Automator run an AppleScript.

In fact Jaimie Vandenbergh's lies were quoted time and time again. So of course I regret being civil to Jaimie Vandenbergh. While I am sure the
trolls approved of it, he has taught me to never try to appease a troll.
Now F. Russell on the other end of the crap doesn't matter. All that matters is Jaimie Vandenbergh gets to deliver the payload. So how to deal with
this? Don't reply to the nonsense. Honest discussion isn't part of Jaimie Vandenbergh's plan and never has been. My view is that we should ALL report the flooding and then it will stop.

Folks who've known Jaimie Vandenbergh for quite some time, and also have experience with him highly advise forgetting him to get him to troll someplace else. As long as F. Russell and anyone else continues to spoon feed him,
he won't seek to be the focus of every thread someplace else. Just idiotic trolling. And I am rewarding that trolling. THAT is what the "Jaimie Vandenbergh
circus" is. I am not fuming, he wants me to be but I'm busting a gut because Jaimie Vandenbergh's nonsense is so juvenile. He purposefully did not mention all the details that he would quickly insist are needed... and we all know why, Jaimie Vandenbergh is such a moron. At least he has other trolls rushing to his rescue ;) Why would F. Russell need socks? He is the one who quotes facts for his side of the "fights".

Yes, the script menu is just for this, and any Macintosh app SHOULD
support it.

Open up ~/Library/Scripts

Create a folder named "Applications" if it does not already exist.

In that folder creat folder with the names of Applications.

Applications
├── Mail
├── Pages
└── Safari

Place scripts in there.

A menu will appear in those apps with a AppleScript "scroll" icon and
your scripts will be in there.

Some applications may have a different location, like BBEdit prefers
scripts in it's own folder.

Like the services menu, an existing
menu, or another menubar item? I want to effectively add a new
command to a File menu of a particular application for the top
document window.

No, adding commands to the existing menus isn't supported, or not easily
at least, unless the App itself supports it (like BBEdit willallow you
to attach a script to a menu item, though not I don't think add a new
item to the menus)

This should help:
