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

There's some hairy hacks but RecordAccess OSAX (not X) is the only sane way
I know of but I don't know where you can find it. Otherwise it's list
tricks.

RecordAccess OSAX is the way to go if you are not under OSX.

Otherwise, if you work with Smile, one of the hairy hacks Andy is mentioning consists mostly in using Smile's "display" command to make the record into text, parsing the resulting string, and using "do script" (or "run script") to retrieve the value of a given property.

Ex. (tested)

set x to {myprop:3.14}

set s to display x --> "{myprop:3.14}"

set ps to text 2 thru ((offset of ":" in s)-1) in s --> "myprop"

do script (ps & " of " & s) --> 3.14

Emmanuel -- not part of the script
