By the way, a really really good find!

I would say this is a parser bug and should probably be reported
the fact that 'answer files(..." gets parsed as the command 'answer
files ..." is poor syntax parsing.
If you had a space between 'files' and the open paren, I can understand
the issue, but any symbol connected immediately to a right paren should
be evaluated as a function.

before you start a lengthy reply, I understand what is going on here,
just wanted to share my AHA-experience. :-)

Fun with answer and files()
Hi friends,
yesterday I wanted to save a line of script and wrote:
...
put specialfolderpath("desktop") into tFolder
answer files(tFolder)
...
Instead of:
...
put specialfolderpath("desktop") into tFolder
put files(tFolder) into tFiles
answer tFiles
...
Before you try, think about what you would exspect and then try it!
At least I was heavily suprised when I did NOT see all files from my
desktop listed in an answer dialog! :-)
Hint:
Using brackets fixed it.
Best
Klaus
