I get an error that I "Can't set end of {} to "New"." But when I uncomment

It must be a bug arising during the transition to OS X. I confirm that I get
the same result running in OS 9.1, when there are no folders in Script
Editor's parent folder. Similarly if I set up Smile in its own folder with
no subfolders. If you replace the 'set end of theClients to "New"' line with
set theClients to theClients & {"New"}
it works OK.
But when running your original script in the same Classic Script Editor in
Classic environment (booted from OS X), I get the correct result {"New"},
without error. Similarly running in OS X's Script Editor.
