Hi, kai--

Maybe I'm not doing it right...

1.  I typed the following script into a Smile script window:

property n : 1
display dialog "Test #" & n
set n to n + 1
if n < 4 then n

2. I then "Save as..."d as an "Application" on the desktop. (Smile didn't offer "compiled script". Its choices were "Script", "Application", and "Stay-open Application".)

3. I then double-clicked on the new icon on my desktop. A dialog box opened and I clicked "OK". The application quit.

4. I repeated #3 several more times. The "Test #" number kept on incrementing. The last test I ran it was at #8.

Am I not doing this right?

I'm using Smile 2.6.9 and MacOS 10.4.2.

--Gil

P.S. - How can I tell which AppleScript version is running on my machine?

To demonstrate the problem, I've distilled it down to the following snippet:

--------------

property n : 1
display dialog "Test #" & n
set n to n + 1
if n < 4 then n

This should be saved as a compiled script and then run more than 3 times from the Script Menu. The first 3 runs are successful here, incrementing the value of the property (n) each time. After that, the dialog sticks on "Test #3" (since, from the third run, the conditional statement returns no value).

For the record, I'm testing in OS 10.4.2 / AS1.10 (system upgrade, not clean install).
