I've found the same to be true when using 'store script', which saves
having to go through AppleScript Editor:
on makeApplet(theName, theNumber)
script o
property callee : theName
property tel : theNumber
-- Your code here. This is just a demo.
display dialog callee & return & tel
end script
store script o in file ((path to desktop as text) & theName & ".app")
end makeApplet
set theName to the text returned of (display dialog "enter the name"
default answer "")
set theNumber to the text returned of (display dialog "enter the phone
number" default answer "")
-- you might want to perform error checking for the phone number to
make sure it's numeric and has the right number of digits
makeApplet(theName, theNumber)
