It's not all that odd -- think of the "make [new]" command in most apps.
Hmmm. I always assumed that in
make new [object] with properties {record labels:values}
that the properties belonged to the new object, not to the make event. Don't
they?
But here:
tell app "Finder" to open application file id "MSIE" with properties
{visible:false}
the "false visible" doesn't belong to the application file. It belongs, sort
of (that is, it's not really invisible) to the process created by opening
the application file. But 'process' isn't mentioned anywhere. That's why I'm
wondering if it's a sort of coercion.
What exactly is getting its visible property made false here?
