Assuming you have generated two lists, one with the filenames, one with the
seperation names, would the above be any faster than

repeat with i from 1 to (count of colourList)
set item i of fileNameList to <<NO-BREAK>>
(words 1 thru -3 of item i of fileNameList <<NO-BREAK>>
& word -1 of item i of colourList & ".tif") as string
end repeat

Just wondering, because optimisation is never my strong point!
