If you're in OS 8 or 9, yes. Otherwise no. All of us participating in the
discussion so far - including the person who started it off using a 'do
shell script' which is available only in OS X - are in OS X.

Not only is the AppleScriptFormatting.osax no longer viable or in place in
OS X, but the formatting defaults are very different - and also changed
between OS 10.2 and 10.3.
