Question:
One problem I have been having (for a while with X) is the following,
when I type :
AppleScript's text item delimiters

or simply

text item delimiters.

AS does not understand the "delimiters" as part of the App keywords. I have to remove the final "s", recompile and them put the final "s" again and recompile. Sometimes more than once to get it to properly understand the whole expression.

Does anybody have or heard of this problem?


As I mentioned the other day, it is NEVER necessary to use "Applescript's" and I don't understand why anyone continue to do so, but it is most important to use MY if you are running the script in an application:


This will work:

tell application "Eudora"
MY text item delimiters
end tell

-- and this will not:

tell application "Eudora"
text item delimiters
end tell


It is a good rule ALWAYS to use MY unless you know you mean something else.
