For starters, this works ...
on run
set aList to {"recName", 5}
set scriptText to "{" & (item 1 of aList) & ":" & (item 2 of
aList) & "}"
set aRec to do script scriptText
display dialog (recName of aRec)
end run
Not on my machine:
"script" in "to do script scriptText" is highlighted and the error is
'Expected end of line, etc., but found "script".' When I try to
compile it.
