Thanks, Gil. Nice tip about the drag and drop! I found another way
which seems to be a middle ground between your solution and mine. It's also a
little shorter - no path required when you save the library file in a Script
Library folder.
property myLib : script "Library Name"
set my_server to myLib's get_server()
set my_username to myLib's get_username()
set username to myLib's fmp_record
This works, and it's not that verbose, but I'm still not sure why
simply calling the library with "use" doesn't work. I know I read that it
should, I just don't remember where since I've been doing a lot of searching.
