Hello Luther,

Looks like Yvan already said something in the same vein, but let's go anyway... ;-)

Considering:

	set SystInfo to {AppleScript version:"2.1.2", AppleScript Studio version:"1.5.1"}

it appears that AppleScript version and AppleScript Studio version in fact are keywords (with codes 'siav' and 'sikv' respectively).

The question being thus: may keywords be considered as valid keys for building a property list? Or: how should a keyword be represented as an UTF-8 string?

To avoid any ambiguity, one would thus need something like this:

	set SystInfo to {|AppleScript version|:"2.1.2", |AppleScript Studio version|:"1.5.1"}

HTH,
Axel
