Right. But I think Michelle covered the scoping variants implicitly by pointing out one of them in her first post. The question, it seems to me, is whether or not folks such as yourself will visit <https://bugreport.apple.com/> to up the priority of said parsing bug. As previously noted, the only documented exception for the non-optionality of 'the' is 'the clipboard' and all other documented usage is optional.

Here is another place where "the" cannot be used:

set the testList to {"one", 1, "two", 2, "three", 3}
repeat with the Element in  testList
display dialog the Element
end repeat

It won't even compile:  "Expected variable name or property but found 'the'."
