Good point, I hadn't thought about that possibility.

I thought that in Applescript the index of the first element was 1
(contrary to python being 0) and that 0 would then be safe (but I should
have added a test) However, nevermind because :

this is far more elegant a solution! ( it was my idea of keeping two
lists that I didn't like )
Now, my concern is about speed if the list becomes a long one... I will see.
