RE: even better coerce to record with usrf

which is brilliant!!! This speeds up the cycle by about half by getting
rid of one 'run script' :

to usrf(theList)
return record {+class usrf;:theList }
end usrf

to extract_record_field(theRecord, theField)
run script " on run{r}
return |"& fieldName & "| of r
end " with parameters {theRecord}
end extract_record_field

set usrfRecord to usrf( {serial number", 75757575 })
extract_record_field( usrfRecord, "serial number" )
--> 75757575


Can anyone figure out how to get rid of the other run script?
