alms for an ex-leper

I have a droplet/applet that I don't understand it's different behavior.
------
on run
set A to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
set KeyList to A
set KeyListRef to a reference to KeyList
display dialog (a reference to item 1 of KeyListRef)
end run

on open
set A to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
set KeyList to A
set KeyListRef to a reference to KeyList
display dialog (a reference to item 1 of KeyListRef)
end open
--------
If I try it as a droplet first I get the err "Can't make item 1 of KeyList into a string"
When I launch it I get the dialog "1"
Then trying the droplet again gives the dialog "1"
Both work until I save changes to the script, then the droplet options gives an err until I launch it again.
Is this normal?
What I'm getting at is that I have a sorting routine that only wants to work as an app and not as a droplet.
The two seem to handle references differently.

any alms appreciated
Bill
