David Lloyd's post reminded me of another case...
There is a terminology conflict btwn FileMaker Pro and Standarad Addition
Read/Write commands (goes all the way back to FMP2 circa 1991 and still
exists in FMP5.x); any 'read something' or 'write something' directed to
FMP explicitly or embedded in FMP's perform AppleScript script step will
cause a compilation error since those are object permission keywords in
FMP.
So one workaround is to put those commands in a tell app "Finder" wrapper
(which itself may cause Finder to run out of memory if it's executed too
often, in a loop), my preferred workaround is using raw event codes.
There may be legitimate reasons for nesting 'tell App's within each
other, but imho the thread that spawned this discussion is not one of
them.
cheers
