Does the variable N have special status?


  • Subject: Does the variable N have special status?
  • From: Bruce Horrocks <email@hidden>

MacOS X 10.6.2, AppleScript 2.1.1, AppleScript Editor v2.3 (118)

Paste the following script into AppleScript Editor:

tell application "Finder"
    set N to the name of a_file
end tell

Then press the compile button and the variable N is changed to lowercase. If you use Z, say, then it remains uppercase.

Any reason or is this a quirk?
