Thanks for reply. It does work with ( ... as list ). It works with
( get ... ) as well (thanks Emmanuel).
It looks like O'Reilly is lying in its AS book. They claim (page 239
-- Secondary List Classes ) that Point is in fact a list -- which is
obviously not true. Same goes for "boundary" -- it looks like it is
NOT list of 4 values.
Thanks again.
Andrei

It's a tricky thing; you're getting a result that looks like one
thing, but is actually another.
tell application "Finder"
set targetWindow to the front window
class of position of targetWindow
end tell
--> property
In other words, position is a property, not a list. So you need to
cast the property into a list:
tell application "Finder"
set targetWindow to the front window
item 1 of (position of targetWindow as list)
end tell
The parentheses are important; it won't work without them.
