Ironically, it can't be done, not in any way that's actually worth using. The only way to do something like that is to make record strings and "load script" it. I could give a more thorough explanation, but the short of it is, you probably wouldn't want to implement anything with records. The canned suggestions are to use a list of pairs, i.e. {{"one", 1},{"two", 2},{"three", 3}} , or 2 parallel lists, which give you more flexibility, but still isn't as convenient as a record. Here's a relevant recent post from the archives: http://lists.apple.com/mhonarc/applescript-users/msg46851.html
