Yes, looks like it.
When you change it to just:
tell app "PGP"
encrypt (theFile)
end
Script Editor sompiles it to:
tell app "PGP"
encrypt(theFile)
end
Apparently, because the dictionary of my copy of PGP doesn't contain an
"encrypt" keyword, AS considers it a variable and then decides that the
addition of "(theFile)" must mean it must be a subroutine call.
Anyway, I think getting this script to work will boil down to finding the
versions of apps and OSAXen it was written for originally.
