Your negative example was also in Luther's original email as an example of something that works. It's specifically "result" that has the problem; for some reason it seems to be some sort of reference type, which has to be resolved by either casting or "get" before one can use it as an endpoint in a subscript range.

On the other hand

property testList : characters of "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" -- a list of characters

-- test 1

set n to (-10 as integer)

items n thru 26 of testList --> {"q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"}

-- test 2

set n to (10 as integer)

items n thru 26 of testList --> {"j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"}
