I have this script running from the menu in Eudora to close all windows except the front one and various other specified windows.

-- tell app "Eudora"
set ls to {}
repeat with i from 2 to count windows
set end of ls to name of window i
end repeat
repeat with w in ls
set w to "" & w
if w does not start with "Task Prog" and ,
w does not start with "Person" and ,
w does not start with "Toolbar" then ,
try
close window w
on error e
-- display dialog e
end try
end repeat
-- end


The script works, but it often throws an error type 1 and the log shows +event ascrgdut;. If I have the error display, it displays before the windows close but does not impede the completion of the script once the dialog is dismissed.

If I run the script from Script Editor with the tell[] enabled, Script Editor is very likely to crash if I don't trap the error.

Since the 'latest' version of Script Editor is fairly likely to crash at the slightest provocation -- whereas before it was very stable -- this may mean nothing, but I can see no obvious reason why this error is occurring. The same script could be used in almost any process; I just happen to be using it in Eudora.

Any ideas? -- I imagine this is a problem others have had.
