David, you are correct about the right way to declare the open file command.
However, this is shown correctly in the current official version of Apple's
sdef file for the Standard Suite (NSCoreSuite). Look at the Skeleton.sdef
file, in Xcode documentation and on the Web at
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/ScriptingDefinitions/listing1.html
Skeleton.sdef also contains several other relatively new corrections to
previous versions of the sdef file, as well as several comments about
additional corrections that have not yet been made.
