Because the classic Finder is horrendously slow, and I'm not looking for a
work-around; I need a real fix. Something is clearly broken with Applescript
on this machine (and, I suspect, with AS 1.8.3 in general, since at least 2
other machines transiently exhibited the same problem), and if it cannot be
fixed, I will need to do a full re-install, since I intend to put mission
critical scripts on this machine which make heavy use of the read/write
commands.
But thanks for your efforts.
