Aha... so the 'get' is needed. I always thought 'get' was optional in AppleScript; I guess Eudora uses it in a coercive way. :) Thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately 'get' is becoming less and less optional under the alien rigime. In the case above an explicit coercion is, and probably always has been, necessary, but whereas it was in the good old days possible to tell the Finder to

item 1 of selection

it is now necessary to get

item 1 of (get selection)

and this is a great stride backwards.
