The only thing I wasn't really aware of since I just started recently
was the difference between the classic and OS X osa files. It doesn't
seem to say on MacScripter which environment an osa file is for. Some
people on the list pointed me towards the new List and Record Tools
from Late Night Software, unfortunately it doesn't do the one thing
Record Access seemed to do that I need, which is the ability to
determine what all the keys are in a record after I read that record in
from a property file.
At this point, I'll just have to take another approach until such an
option exists or becomes evident.
Thanks,
Sean

Do you happen to have any idea if this works under 10.3.4? I've been
using some other osaxen without problems, but this one doesn't seem
to be recognized by script editor or xcode.
No, you have to perform all sorts of high-jumps and backflips to
access it via classic. I watched the thread which explained what as
needed to do this and decided that it was all too hard. I was using it
to read and write preferences files and I'd played with building
labels from text on the fly. However, I discovered that RTFM helps
solve problems and learnt the read/write As Record lets me save and
recover records. Most of the other uses I had for it were
experimental, so I don't use it anymore.
