I recently updated to AppleScript 1.6 and have noticed a few things don't
work as before.

*The data type short doesn't work. I can't coerce an integer into a short
integer. eg:
set y to 3
set x to y as short

As far as I can tell, AppleScript has never defined the term "short", though it does define "small integer", and that still works in AppleScript 1.6. Might you have a scripting addition that went AWOL during your upgrade?

*Script objects no longer work. If I load a compiled script into my main
script with the load script command, then try to run that script, I get an
error regarding parameters.

I'm not seeing anything like this here, but that doesn't mean there's nothing wrong. Can you provide an example, preferably directly to me? I'll summarize to the list when we figure out what's going on.
