With regards to the bits on OSAX within tells:

My experience with OSAX within tells concerns imbedding OSAX into FaceSpan
applications. Some OSAX calls fail in this case if they are imbedded in a
tell block whilst written in Facespan, e.g:

tell document 1 of app "QuarkXPress 4.11"
set theData to Get_Osax_Info -- (some imaginary OSAX)
end tell

I was able to find a solution, which has worked for me:

tell document 1 of app "QuarkXPress 4.11"
tell me to set theData to Get_Osax_Info
end tell

I wonder if this sort of quick fix would help those who are considering
rewriting a lot of AppleScripts?
