David,
Since I create the scripts in Script Debugger, I comment out the Filemaker
tell/end tell before pasting into the Filemaker field. Then I remove the “—“s
to uncomment, when I paste into a script editor later.
I doubt my way is any better or worse than your method. But it serves my
obsessive/compulsive issues.
The important thing is putting the scripts into Filemaker. In addition to
keeping things neat and tidy, it makes your Applescripts dynamic (scriptable).
