| This compiles:
# 1 tell application "System Events" set theItems to name of every file of folder "bin" of folder "usr" of startup disk end tell
and if I replace the application name with the variable, so does this (and it’ll run correctly, too):
#2 set theSysEvents to "System Events"
tell application theSysEvents
propertiesend tell
but trying to combine the command in 1 and the variable substitution in 2 together throws a compiler error:
#3 set theSysEvents to "System Events"
tell application theSysEventsset theItems to name of every file of folder "bin" of folder "usr" of startup disk
end tell
