In any AppleScript Editor, you can set set the AppleScript formatting to
distinctive formats for application keywords, language keywords, user terms
(i.e. variables), etc. So omitting the space between "Do" and "Script" would
change what should be an application keyword (in my set-up that's bright
red) to a variable (green and underlined, the way I've set it). Sometimes I
even notice!
