As the "on error" component of the try block is optional why can't we write something like this:

try to tell application "Finder" to set name of finderReference to fileName

Because that's not how the syntax is defined, but that's a non-answer. Quite honestly, this never occurred to me. I regard the whole idea of blindly suppressing errors with some suspicion, but if you want to write a bug for it, go right ahead.


I'd rather you spend the time on other things myself. For instance, could you add something like <Command-Shift-O> for the "Open Dictionary..." menu item in Script Editor and possibly get the dictionary list dialog to remember its size and placement?
