Interesting.  I'd have thought it should work.  Is there any way to coerce
an AppleScript list into a list of discrete items?  I can do "item 1 of
myList, item 2 of myList" to get a list of those two items, but not "items
of myList"; the latter appears to return an AppleScript list.  Please tell
me that AppleScript has a way to do this ...

You can, kinda.  use "mode batch", and anything printed will be returned to
the caller (your AppleScript).
