That solves email line wrap too.
So we use expressions like "is greater than or equal to", perhaps
in combination with a whose clause, AND we keep lines short. ;-)
tell application "Finder"
set nameList to name of every file of myFolder whose physical size
of it is greater than or equal to 3200
end tell

When you type option-return in Script Editor, Script Debugger, etc,
the characters (option-l & return) are inserted. In a normal text
editing environment, you would have to type/use option-l & return to
obtain the equivialent character sequence, ie: option-return is not a
character, it is a command to insert two characters.

Again, how do these two mutually incompatible concepts work together?
