I'm trying to extract the name of a process from a record using System

the record structure looks like this:
set this_record to ,
{process:theProcess, bounds:window_bounds ,
, position:window_position} as record
set the end of the the application_records to this_record
This is meaningless. It's all back to front. Your key must come
before the colon and the value after.
tell application "System Events"
set reco to {_name:"", _creator:""}
set _sampleprocess to last item of (processes whose visible is true)
tell _sampleprocess
set _name of reco to its name
set _creator of reco to its creator type
end tell
end tell
reco
As to 'bounds', 'position' etc, these are not properties of a
process, nor yet of an application, so you can't get whatever you
intend here through System Events.
properties of _sampleprocess will give you a list of what _is_ available.
my first time working with records
any suggestions much appreciated
What exactly are you trying to do?
