Sorry.  I know that ' tell application variableName' doesn't work in
general, because the AppleScript compiler needs to know what app's
terminology to use inside the tell block - it can't defer that till
runtime.
   I thought it might be able to fall back to the web services case,
but that's silly since it's a syntax error.  Bad advice from me.
