Anyone know why Smile (1.8.4) keeps changing my casing
The case changes will be because Smile has certain variable names already
defined in its own code. When compiling source code, AppleScript checks to
see if any variable names match names already in use, and if they do it
uses the same case as before. This is how identifiers in AS manage to be
case-insensitive while in many other languages they are not, but it can be
a little irritating sometimes when you can't get the casing to come out
exactly as you want it.

You mean the continuation character; aka ASCII 194; aka "Option-L"; aka
"Dreaded scourge of the AS users mailing list" (which is why I can't just
type it here;).
Alas, this is an example of AppleScript's pretty printing overreaching
itself. Sometimes it thinks it knows more about how you want your source
code to appear than you do and rearranges it accordingly.:p
