Peter;
Have you actually tried this? Because I’m sure it used to work this way, but
doesn’t any more. After “tell (create new record)” didn’t work, my next thought
was “set x to create new record” followed by “tell x…”. But it also didn’t
work. But if you got it to work, it must be something else that I did to break
things.
