Thank you, Chris!

The salient difference seems to be the syntax of the "with" parameter 
passing to rewrap command.

When I took my existing Service script and replaced my broken Rewrap command 
with yours (along with my text "w"):

    rewrap quoted text w width 68 ¬
      paragraph fill true ¬
      removing quote spaces true ¬
      with leaving trailing quote spaces

the script editor rewrote it as

    rewrap quoted text w width 68 with paragraph fill, removing quote spaces 
and leaving trailing quote spaces

which works perfectly.

Essentially, AppleScript seems to prefer real English ("with paragraph fill, 
removing quote spaces and leaving trailing quote spaces") to poor English 
("with paragraph fill and removing quote spaces and leaving trailing quote 
spaces").

Sigh. I've been working with AppleScript since Danny 
Goodman<http://amzn.to/paHisY>'s 
first AppleScript book <http://amzn.to/nchgaa> was the definitive work on 
the matter and I *still* trip over things like this.

Thanks for your help!
