Hello Ed,

Strictly speaking, the Standard Additions command "run script" expects:
- either a string, which it will compile
- or a reference to a file, which it will read from (and possibly compile)
and then runs the resulting script object (sends it a run command).

In the case of Yvan's or Shane's code, do_the_duty already identifies a script object. So, it just needs to receive a "run" command:
	tell do_the_duty to run
or, equivalently:
	run do_the_duty

It seems that Script Debugger is just more "compliant" (or less "permissive") than Script Editor.

Axel
