The property is not automagically saving within the script when my

-- Given this script:
property filePath : ""
display dialog filePath
if filePath is "" then
set filePath to (choose file) as string
end if
The second time I run that script, the display dialog shows that the
property has correctly stored my value. But if I add at the end the
line:
tell application "Finder" to open file filePath
well, then, the property never gets stored. What on earth is going on
here, and what is the work around? I noticed that if I add a display
dialog after the Finder tell so that I have to bring the script back
to the front in order to dismiss the dialog box then it will save the
property.

I haven't been able to reproduce this in 10.2.8, Joe - but Ed Wiederer
recently reported similar behaviour in the "Capturing username for
script that mounts server" thread on this list:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2005/Mar/msg00817.html
I wonder if anyone else can replicate the problem - and what system
version they're using...
