Sorry about that, Mr Tea.

That's something only the AppleScript developers can answer. My guess is
no, nothing different happens. As far as I know, both writing styles result
in a single Apple Event being sent to the application in question for each
individual command in the tell/tell block. Someone with authority please
correct me if I am wrong.
