Records can be used for lookup. Just be sure to put the lookup in a try block if there is a possibility that what you are looking up is not in the record.

What good is an exists clause if it bombs when the item you are looking for does not exist? In the following example "exists fame of x" would fail because x does not have a fame label.

set x to {BuddhaNature:true, Diabolical:false, wealth:100}

if BuddhaNature in x then

{"yes", BuddhaNature of x, wealth of x}

else

"no"

end if

However, apparently Late Night Software does have a OSAX that does the trick at

which I haven't tried, but I seriously doubt they would post a bad product.
