Why are you coercing strings into strings? And I'd remove the "the",

AppleScript's parser *should* ignore it, but why make it bother?
AppleScript doesn't mind. These are just style recommendations, not ever the
cause of any failures in AppleScript. It may look messy (or not, as you
think) but adding 'the' and providing unnecessary coercions never caused an
AppleScript to fail. That can't possibly be the problem.
When
set the method_parameters to {sUser:aUser, sPwd:aPassword}
compiles, the record labels sUser and sPwd compile as user terms, not as
application keywords. I believe that there's a way around this, which I
believe (if I remember correctly) is that you put them into pipes:
set the method_parameters to {|sUser|:aUser, |sPwd|:aPassword}
But I might not be recalling that correctly. Someone will know.
