Fwd: Handlers in applications

There has to be a simple solution to this but it eludes me.

It appears that applications can't deal with simple condition handlers. This example issues an Applescript Error "TextEdit got an error: Can't continue simplicity." Same result for iPhoto 5.0.1 and iTunes...

tell application "TextEdit"
activate
simplicity("testing")
end tell

on xxx)
display dialog xxx
end simplicity

but this works...

simplicity("testing")

on xxx)
display dialog xxx
end simplicity

The first example will work by using a tell me to before simplicity but that seems unnecessary and kludgy.
