Try this:

 put "Core.pick(*Pick a Boy:*,[*Manny*,*Moe*,*Jack*])" into js
 do replacetext(js,"*",quote) as javascript
 put the result

This is a favorite trick of mine. Having to put in all those &quotes and
commas into a do-statement is tedious, and often makes the script
unreadable. Using an unneeded symbol in the place of a quote and replacing
it later improves readability tremendously.

Cheers!
