You missed my point entirely, JR. Here's what I was trying to find out...


When a script is compiled, is the construction:

tell application "Finder" to do something

...treated in any way differently to:

tell application "Finder"
do something
end tell

...or do they both end up being treated as exactly the same thing. I
understand what you are saying about the advantages of writing in this
style, but I want to know if anything different is going on 'under the hood'

(See also the tests I ran with embedded tell blocks in the thread "Damn send
button / Wind chill".)


Cordially

Mr Tea
