Yvan, the only problem is your insistence in using Apple Apps. AppleWorks is a subsidiary. TextEdit and Mail are Apple's. If you use another application it really returns what g is, a record:

tell application "BBEdit"
	set props to (get properties of document 1)
	log class of props
end tell

Log:
tell application "BBEdit"
get properties of document 1
{id:1358154, container:current application, modified:true, modifiable:true, modification date:date "Sunday, May 31, 2009 10:42:17 AM", name:"untitled text", on disk:false, file:missing value, creator type:"R*ch", window:text window 1, container web site:missing value, text encoding:"Unicodeā„¢ (UTF-8, no BOM)", FTP Info:missing value, is FTP:false, line breaks:Unix, source language:"(none)", state modified:false, URL:missing value, contents:""
(*record*) <------ see!
end tell




Try it yourself.
And the problem which you seem not to understand is that your "g" or "props" will cease to work outside the tell block, which might not be good.
You can always overcame this problem, but it is a problem.
