Listing the names contained in a record

A record contains a list of name/value pairs. Some books describe this as being similar to a Perl associated array (hash). However, in Perl, it's easy to get a list of the names (keys), and then march through the hash fetching the associated values (to display the name-value pairs, for example). I want to do this with an AppleScript record, but there appears to be no way to extract a list of the names, just the values.

Is there a way to get a list of the names of the name/value pairs in a record?
