Here I am answering my own question...

I see that it's the "load script" command that I've been looking for. Danny Goodman's example of this command is right on the mark for me, I only had to translate it out of labeled parameter style into "normal".

I found a copy on the Internet of the disk files that originally came with his book, and see that the labeled param subroutines that continue through his book are connected to some string processing libraries, with subroutines written in the same "labeled" style, that Apple put together back in 1993.

Well, that's enough for today.

I do have a couple of questions that I haven't discovered the answers to yet. (what, only a couple?)

I thought that I could put a subroutine into a separate file and call it like an internal subroutine as long as it was in the same directory as the main script, but found that it isn't quite that simple. I guess the answer to this may be in "Script Objects", which I'll be poking my head into next. I'd like to know how to call a script in the same way as a subroutine, pass args and run it, then get back to the original script.

Thanks, Greg

BTW I see that Applescript doesn't do "parsing"--too bad, I kinda liked that...
