Bruce;
I agree with you. I should have added "> Cell" to the end of both
hierarchies, as that's usually the ultimate goal.
The fact that a table cannot have a found set can be good or bad. The
good means that you can work with a table without messing up any
found sets etc. in the FileMaker application. It all depends what you
want to do. Unfortunately I've found that sometimes you have to work
with the first method, which means that you have to be careful,
especially if you want the script to work in the background.

Window is really important as now you can have multiple windows open
with the same database/document/layout/table shown.
If you don't want to affect the visual layout then use the hierarchy:
Application > Database > Table
Note that some things just don't work with the second alternative, as
far as I can tell.
A table is not a property of a layout. A table cannot have a found set, for
instance.
