FWIW that's how I do things and I've never seen this particular
variety of misbehavior on Windows. Naturally I have seen quite a lot
of misbehavior on Windows, but most of it has to do with the OS
itself (IOW if it was not Windows it would not be misbehaving).
The other thing I do with my tell commands is what I do with my ifs:
tell thatWindow
doThis
end tell
...as I also do:
if something then
that
end if
Even my one-liners get broken up. I don't know for sure that it makes
a difference, but it does not hurt and it provides my code with a
consistent look.
