Don;


This makes sense, but I never would have thought about it. The context of the
script is FileMaker, so you don’t need to put it in a tell block.


However, one advantage to putting it into a tell block is that if you
cut-and-paste the script into an AppleScript editor for debugging, it will
still work.
