Does anyone know a workaround? How do I get AS to leave path: as path:?

'path' is an AppleScript keyword. Evidently something "interesting" happens
to it here . To use a keyword as a regular variable without conflict, you
can put it inside "pipes" : |path| (made by shift-\). Will that do?
set theParameters to {|path|:"/index"} as record
tell application "
http://xmlrpc.usefulinc.com/demo/server.php";
set returnValue to call xmlrpc {method name:"validator1.echoStructTest",
parameters:{theParameters}}
get returnValue
end tell
--> {|path|:"/index"}
get |path| of returnValue
--> "/index"
Or can't you give the label another name, such as thePath?
