applescript "do script"

[Thomas McGrath III]

Ken,

Thanks for getting back so quick. Forgetting the standalone for now, I  
opened 3.0 then created a news stack, opened the stack script and  
entered the script you did, then opened AS and entered the script you  
had there. RR comes to the front but no script executes. i.e. no  
answer dialog pops up...

But if I change the do script to
do script "beep"

it does beep

????
