The simplest way is to put the offending command in a tell. I usually use tell application "finder" to yada yada

That is simple but in the bad way not the good way. Read is a command from the standard additions osax, not the finder. Why not tell Font Book or Safari or Mail to do it?

Many times a: tell AppleScript or using terms from AppleScript

can avoid the context switch.
