I thought it was pretty stupid. My mistake was I had been attempting to do it using 'items' and not 'text
items' (duh).
Too bad. I looked it up in 'Applescript in a Nutshell' rather than ASLG. In fact, I'm really disappointed
with 'Applescript in a Nutshell'.
"AppleScript's text item delimiters" doesn't even appear in the index, and there's only mention of them
under the 'list' class, not the 'string' class. What's a guy supposed to think? I'd say that was a pretty
glaring omission. ASLG is at least as good, and in many ways better. Certainly cheaper. :)
Thanks for putting me straight anyway.

I noticed that 'timescale' was clashing with something, but I don't know what. That's why I added the underscore.
