Where to put Applescripts

[Thomas McGrath III]

Robert,

The idea of using tokens is new to me. The idea seems sound but I am  
confused about the syntax. Would you mind giving an example?
My questions are how to extract the token and replace it? can I use  
replace, find, etc.
I looked up the token command and this was not clear.

Thanks,

Tom
