Yup. Been solved as many times too...
My 2 cents is the same as it's always been.
Get ACME Script Widgets. Forget about records. Use paired lists.
This has two disadvantages, however: it costs $29 [1], and it's far
slower than using Satimage's XMLLib osax or AppleMods' Types library
[2].
HTH
has
[1] Which seems rather steep considering there's free libraries and
osaxen that can do all that and plenty more.
[2] The Apple Event Manager is dreadfully inefficient at packing
large lists into Apple events, so well-optimised vanilla AppleScript
code is usually much quicker than osaxen for list-related work.
