Good to know that Apple fixed/broke that.  Though it looks like it no longer differentiates between properties and procedures.  Previously you could have a property and a procedure with the same name.

So, is this consistent applet behavior or am I jumping too quickly to a conclusion? If one is using this technique, knowing when to expect a response would be helpful.

This is the behavior that I remember.  Even with Applescript studio you have to get creative to multithread.
