Thanks Scott.

Now (to the other Scott), would it be too much to ask that a list of *all*
reserved words be created as part of the documentation (the "done" problem
took hours to uncover)?  How about ensuring that they "light-up" if Colorize
Script" is turned on in the script editor?  Other than the fact that it
fails to work, there is no indication in metacard that "done" is reserved;
nor is it listed in the appendix of the written documentation, or in the
"Help Index", or in the list of constants in the metatalk reference stack.
