Yes. No. Maybe.
>From the script I posted earlier, 'theContact' is the value returned by 'the
selection' which in the case of the address book returns a list. If only one
contact is selected, the list contains only one item, but it's still a list.
I could have converted the list to a single contact (after checking there
was only one), but I'm lazy!
Likewise, theAddresses is a list of two items returned by the line:
set theAddresses to {home address, business address} of item 1 of theContact
So, I can normally say 'set {a,b} to {x,y} but I can't do it with the
contacts addresses. I'll play a little more and see where the problem lies.
