'cell' is not an element of class 'database'. By rights, it appears from the
dictionary that it should be
cell "a" of layout "b" of document "c"
(or
tell document "c"
tell layout "b"
cell "a"
)
which I imagine
cell "a" of database "d"
is being coerced to in this meaning. I just hadn't noticed any of that
before (I'm new to FMP), and had only noticed the cell element of record and
of field. I wouldn't have known of the 'cell of database' shorthand, since
it is _not_ in the Dictionary.
