The editor doesn't replace app by application...AppleScript does that when
it hands the decompiled script (as styled text) back to the editor after
compilation. The editor knows very little about AppleScript syntax or
semantics...which makes sense: why put the knowledge in two places when
one place is enough.
As has been said in another message, the problem is the form of the using
clause.
