But it would also be a good thing if the Standard Suite

It would certainly be cool that all applications do like Smile does,
that is, having their "open" command return a reference to the newly
opened object (or whatever makes sense in the particular context),
but I don't think anything prevents a programmer from having his
"open" command return whatever he decides.

That's good. I'll file that as a feature-request type bug, then with Word.
;-)

As you know, the Standard Suite is more of a recommendation than anything
else.

I never really know what I know, with regard to AppleScript application
implementation. If there are real rules anywhere, I don't know where to find
them. Inside "Inside Macintosh"? Are they updated for OS X?
