That's right - the tell block is displayed here because the script is
run from within Filemaker. The code is developed in Smile and then
pasted (without the surrounding tell block) into a FMPro ScriptMaker
step: Send AppleScript(). Filemaker compiles the code and in doing
so, breaks or bends the code. Developing within the tell block alerts
me to these conflicts. For instance, the read and write commands from
Standard Additions conflict with Filemaker's own read and write
commands. Filemaker won't compile code that contains instructions to
the standard additions read/write commands. It's necessary to use the
raw codes, <<event rdwrread>> and <<event rdwrwrit>> to pass those
commands to the standard Additions osax. I'd been using the code that
contained "the clipboard as record" for several weeks without
problem. The other day I altered the script library and recompiled
it, then I experienced problems. When I opened the script library to
inspect it the script appears in English (below) and there is nothing
to suggest that it is Filemaker's <<cRow>> rather than AppleScript's
<<reco>> because both are described as "record". I'm hoping that
there are AppleScript tools that will display the raw code in this
way.

I've been using the same development environment all along, what is
it that makes the code decide it wants to use FMPro's library
instead of Applescript's?
The fact that the script told Filemaker to do it; i.e.,.
tell "filemaker pro"
the clipboard as record
-- can't make the clipboard into a record
-- it is the wrong data type
end tell
