I'm pretty sure that the tests for the transactions in FileMaker performed
for the scripts described in my book were performed with FileMaker Pro 8.
Remember, you have to wrap the transaction block inside the tell block, and
you have to keep manually deleting the word "transaction" from the end block
before compiling because of the bug in FMP's dictionary (it tries to grab
"end transaction" as a command, so that AS can't see it as a control
structure). See p. 297 in the new edition of my book for more info. m.
