Hey Luther,
I think the property resets to what you typed because you reopened
the script in Script Editor....
Cheers!

No. I need to clarify this.
The script was saved as an uneditable application bundle ... so I
didn't edit it.
Typically, when a property is changed, the new value is stored in
memory
until script execution is complete. At that point the state of the
script is
written back to the script file, including the value of said property.
(Perhaps you've noticed that the modification date of a script
application
changes with every execution.)
By interrupting your script before execution is complete, the
opportunity to
store the property is lost. The last stored state--from the most
recent
*complete* run--will be the starting state of the next run.
That seems to make a lot of sense and is consistent with my
observations.
I don't guess there is any way to force the write-back prior to normal
quit?
