Paul,
I know I've had trouble trying to "run" a script also. I never was able to
figure out logically why, but I copied an example of something that seemed
to work. Here is what I use (the script must be compiled as an applet; not
just a compiled script):
Send Apple Event ["Applet name","aevt","oapp"]
This works.
I've also had good luck with putting the text of a script into a field, and
then using "Perform Applescript" with the field as the object of the verb.
However, that won't work to retain property values, as you point out.

timing out. This happens also if I save it as a stay-open applet.
