Ok, this is an easy one. Applescript treats my variable in a "get" as a literal. I thought the lack of pipes would prevent this. However, there's something else I must be missing. I searched the archives, but he suggestion of using (| & variable & |) doesn't work either. thanks for any help.

On my system, it treats it as a variable. From your use, it appears that it should be a label of an application's property.


However, I think you need to have it inside a "tell application" block because as the script is presented to us, nothing is defined.
