Well, I tried the tell statements in various ways, but that did not work.
I even cut it down to:
tell application “Dragon Dictate”
(*several comments*)
end tell
when I try to compile I get the message “expected expression, property or key  Form, etc. but found unknown token.”

This is the message I get a lot when compiling something that works great in AS, but it doesn’t work in Dragon Dictate.
Very simple say variable_name works very well, but say “any text” does not work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
--Doug
