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


What do you mean by "it will not work" ?


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

As far as I remember, the problem I had was when I was writing the math libraries. There is not one "tell app ..." in any of the libraries. My problem was that using tid instead of astid inside Smile gave me different results than using it inside SE.
No tells, just setting tids to ... .

I'll check and I'll post my notes.

I do not know if the problem persists in the more recent versions, but it did at one time.
