Aagghh. Very good, Axel. I don't see how I missed that - adding an explicit
'get' one of the first things I usually try. I think it was simply that
whereas it sometimes jumps out at me when a property is a direct object
clearly following an 'of' (as in ex. 2"--works!" above) , I missed it when
the alternate 's syntax was used (ex. 1). It's still interesting that 'tell'
does not require the 'get' here (ex. 3) to make the script-object-ness of
XLib clear, and yet in the example you provide in your next message even
'tell' needs the 'get' to make that example work.
