AppleScript won't compile (?)

[Sarah Reichelt]

This is very odd. I have always recommended that AppleScripts only be 
transferred to Rev after they have been tested in the AppleScript 
editor, and have never had a script that worked in one & not the 
othere. The only idea I had was the line continuations. Does it work if 
you make all the wrapped lines into single lines?

Cheers,
Sarah
