Martin.

Your code works wonderfully in Terminal but it won't compile on any of my
Macs in Script Editor.  All choke on the % sign and give the same error:

Syntax error
Expected """ but found unknown token

Any thoughts on why?  It looks to me like the % is escaped correctly and all
the quotes line up.

Thanks!
