Bryan -
Actually, I found that if I put the "width of (imageInfo as record)" line
back inside the tell block for ImageMagick/AE, everything worked. I had this
inspiration (about the tell block) when I was trying to explain this on the
whiteboard of someone who absolutely didn't know a lick of AppleScript.
Funny how things hit you.
So "width" alone worked for me. I did not try "image width" as you
suggested.
With that command line above outside the tell block, "width" showed up as a
variable in my color-coding.
Now that I've gotten this working, I'm going to try replacing my
GraphicConverter routine in the image cataloging script I've built.
Thanks!

so you need to ask for "image width" instead of "width", which is a system
