No - it's AppleScript itself, which defines "document" / 'docu'. It is your
(Mike's, the programmer's) responsibility not to re-use improperly an
existing four-letter code. This is not easy because you don't always know
what the existing four-letter codes are. See the material in my book about
terminology class; my book also completely explains the phenomenon you
(Mike) are seeing (see on "decompilation"), plus it tells you some ways to
learn what four-letter codes AppleScript has already defined (namely, look
at the dictionary of AppleScript itself). m.
