an excellent explanation of a few of the finer points of Applescript

Perhaps I should add that nested application tell blocks are generally
considered best avoided
I have sensed that this was the case but wondered why. Is it the likely
clash of terms from different dictionaries?
While talking about best practices I have read that it is inefficient
to have frequent separate calls to an application.
Is it better then to enclose a long script in one tell "Finder" block
(for example) even though the Finder might only actually be needed for
a few of the lines. Or is it better to make a couple of separate tell
"Finder" to do_something calls.
Thanks Kai
