ItemDelimiters are limited to a single character. I haven't a clue why 
this should work in the IDE, but it shouldn't. Also, you have omitted 
"the" which in this case isn't strictly necessary but will improve 
engine performance, and  which may fail to work in future versions if it 
is omitted.

What you want is:

    set the itemDelimiter to "/"

or alternately, since it is a built-in constant, you can use:

    set the itemDelimiter to slash

The "put" and "delete" commands work fine in standalones, unless you are 
putting stuff into the message box, which doesn't exist there.
