Ahhh, I'm getting it now, thanks to
Yvan, kai and you, Ed!
I like one liners, like "What do
you call a lady with one leg? Peg" so I went with:
if
the
class
of
OutputFiles
is
not
list
then
set
OutputFiles
to
{OutputFiles}
Funny how such small things can stop
you dead.... like viruses...

The problem is that in Finder (and a few other apps) if your command returns
a single item you get a reference to that item, but if it returns multiple
items you get a list of references to those items. Someone suggested using
alias list, which may not work in all cases.
Here's what I use, which seems pretty bulletproof:
If the class of myListOfFiles in not list then
set myListOfFiles to {myListOfFiles}
End if
