Right. It's the 'POSIX file' command not functioning inside the explicit
Script Editor tell block. For some reason AppleScript won't run the Standard
Additions command within the tell block, as it should, even though it
compiles it so has obviously checked the Standard Additions dictionary.


You can get around this without exiting the tell block by a 'tell me to'.

tell app "Script Editor"
tell me to set docPath to POSIX file (path of (document of window 1))
end tell

That works! Thanks.


Alternatively:

tell app "Script Editor"
    set docPath to my POSIX file (path of (document of window 1))
end tell
